'''Counterpyth''' is the [[rank-3 temperament|rank-3]] [[temperament]] tempering out [[400/399]] and [[1216/1215]] in the 2.3.5.7.19 [[subgroup]].
 
Inspired by [[Margo Schulter]]'s [[parapyth]], counterpyth was named and first explored by [[Flora Canou]] in 2024.
 
In counterpyth, the fifth is tuned a little sharp such that
* the major seventh (+5 fifths) hits [[19/10]], tempering out 1216/1215;
* the augmented fourth (+6 fifths) hits [[10/7]], tempering out [[5120/5103]];
* the augmented third (+11 fifths) hits [[19/14]], tempering out [[1245184/1240029]].
 
It also features a commas step representing [[64/63]]~[[81/80]]. Prime harmonics 5, 7 and 19 are all made available simply using two chains of fifths.
 
See [[Hemifamity family #Counterpyth]] for technical data.
