In [[7-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''7/6''' is the '''subminor third''' <ref>[[Hermann von Helmholtz|Hermann L. F. von Helmholtz]] (1875). ''On the sensations of tone as a physiological basis for the theory of music'', p. 284.</ref> or '''septimal minor third'''. At about 267 cents, it is smaller than both the [[5-limit]] minor third ([[6/5]], ~316 cents) and the familiar [[12edo]] minor third (300 cents). In contrast to [[5/4]] and [[6/5]], 7/6 is noticeably more consonant than it's counterpart [[9/7]], and a [[6:7:9]] subminor triad can sound very stable compared to a [[14:18:21]] supermajor triad. It can also be used with [[8/7]] in a [[6:7:8]] triad dividing [[4/3]] rather than [[3/2]], though this chord is better voiced as 4:6:7.

== Approximation ==

== Temperaments ==

7/6 can be used as a generator for several temperaments, most notably [[orwell]], where two subminor thirds reach [[11/8]], three reach [[8/5]], and seven reach [[3/2]]. It also generates [[septimin]].

[[~~File:jid_7_6_pluck_adu_dr220~~.~~mp3~~]] [[~~:File:jid_7_6_pluck_adu_dr220.mp3|~~sound ~~sample~~]]

It is almost perfectly approximated by [[9edo|2\9]], and is represented as such in the [[septiennealimmal clan]], including [[ennealimmal]].
