In [[17-limit]] [[just Intonation]], '''17/10''' is the '''septendecimal major sixth''', measuring about 918.6¢. It exceeds the [[27/16|Pythagorean major sixth (27/16)]] by a [[136/135|diatisma (136/135)]], hence the name. It is the [[mediant]] of [[5/3]] and [[12/7]]. Its [[octave complement]] is [[20/17]], the diatismic minor third.
