'''64:81:96''' is a [[major triad]] found on the I, IV, and V of the [[3-limit]] [[5L 2s|diatonic scale]].
'''64:81:96''' is a just 3-limit [[major triad]], also known as the '''Pythagorean major triad'''. Its third differs from the third of the 5-limit major triad [[4:5:6]] by only the [[81/80]] comma. Assuming a harmonic timbre, the 5-limit triad is considerably more consonant.
 
In [[meantone]] this chord is tempered together with [[4:5:6]]; it may be considered a 3-limit approximation of that chord, or used in its own right as a chord with a less stable third.
