One note repeated in just perfect fifths is an example of a [[trivial temperaments|trivial temperament]]. 1edf can be viewed as the [[circle of fifths]] or [[Pythagorean tuning]] without octave reduction.

The adjacent open strings of a violin, viola or cello are traditionally tuned in perfect fifths. These instruments are hence tuned in 1edf.

In terms of harmonic approximations, the [[5/1|5th harmonic]] is roughly represented at 4 steps ([[Just intonation|just]] 81/16), being sharp by exactly [[81/80]] = 21.5{{C}}, the syntonic comma.
