'''10:12:15''' is the just [[minor triad]], also known as the '''Ptolemaic minor triad'''.  
'''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]].


Common tetrads based on this triad (5-limit except where noted):
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]].

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 diatonic scale of meantone temperament, as the minor third formed from stacking three 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.
