'''28/15''' is an interval in [[7-limit]] [[just intonation]] measuring about 1080.6 [[cent]]s, traditionally known as the '''septimal grave major seventh''' for its proximity (and conflation in [[marvel]] tunings such as septimal [[meantone]]) with the classical major seventh [[15/8]]. However, it functions as a diminished octave, as is supported by [[Sagittal notation]], [[Helmholtz–Ellis notation]] and the [[Functional Just System]], viewed as the [[4096/2187|Pythagorean diminished octave]] flattened by an [[aberschisma]]. This gives rise to the more precise name '''aberschismic diminished octave'''. It arises from stacking various [[9-odd-limit]] consonances, including the stack consisting of [[6/5]] and [[14/9]], of [[7/6]] and [[8/5]], and of [[7/5]] and [[4/3]].


'''28/15''' is a [[7-limit]] [[just intonation]] interval of about 1080.6 [[cent]]s. It is well approximated by [[10edo]] (9\10).

Despite being approximated by the major seventh in systems like [[septimal meantone]], and even being called the '''septimal grave major seventh''' by some musicians, 28/15 is a diminished octave in just intonation notation systems such as [[Sagittal notation]], [[Helmholtz-Ellis notation]] and the [[Functional Just System]], viewed as the Pythagorean diminished octave ([[4096/2187]]) altered by [[5120/5103]].
