'''1/11-comma meantone''' is a tuning of meantone where the [[3/2|fifth]] is flattened by 1/11 of the [[81/80|syntonic comma]], producing a fifth of 700.000 cents. This is approximated well by [[12edo]].
'''1/11-comma meantone''' is a tuning of meantone where the [[3/2|fifth]] is flattened by 1/11 of the [[81/80|syntonic comma]], producing a fifth of 699.9998836 cents. This is approximated well by [[12edo]], differing only by 1/132 of [[Kirnberger's atom]].


In the [[7-limit]], 1/11-comma’s fifth is a good [[sharptone]] generator. In the [[11-limit]], it becomes a good [[meanertone]] generator.
