'''10:12:15''' is a 5-limit [[minor triad]] found on the iii ({{Frac|15|16}}) and vi ({{Frac| of Ptolemy's intense diatonic scale ([[Zarlino]]), perhaps the most common [[5-limit]] diatonic.
'''10:12:15''' is a utonal [[minor triad]], known as the '''just minor triad''', '''classical minor triad''', or '''Ptolemaic minor triad'''. It is a common chord that appears as a counterpart to the widespread otonal major triad of [[4:5:6]], with the major third replaced by a minor third. It occurs as a minor triad in the [[5L 2s|diatonic]] scale of [[meantone]] temperament, as the minor third formed from stacking three [[4/3|perfect fourths]] octave reduced, [[32/27]], is equated with [[6/5]] due to vanishing of [[81/80]].
 
It is not the only minor triad in [[just intonation]]; other minor triads include [[54:64:81]] (Pythagorean minor triad), [[6:7:9]] (septimal minor triad), and [[16:19:24]].
