'''4/9-comma meantone''' is a tuning of [[meantone]] where the [[3/2|fifth]] is flattened by 4/9 of the [[81/80|syntonic comma]], producing a fifth of 692.396649¢ cents. This is approximated well by [[26edo]] (15\26 is 692.307692¢, which is flatter by 0.088957¢, for a cumulative error of only 2.312882¢ for proceeding all the way around the 26edo circle of fifths).
