[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristoxenus|Aristoxenus (fl. 335 BC)]] defined the tone as the difference between the [[3_2|just fifth (3/2)]] and the [[4_3|just fourth (4/3)]]. From this base size, he derived the size of other intervals as multiples or fractions of the tone, so for instance the just fourth was 2&lt;span style="font-size: 70%; vertical-align: super;"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span style="font-size: 70%; vertical-align: sub;"&gt;2&lt;/span&gt; tones in size.
'''Tone''' may refer to:
* [[9/8]], the whole tone
* A [[unit of interval size]] exactly or approximately equal to 9/8 (~203.91{{cent}}) or to [[6edo|1\6]] (200{{cent}}) (see [[Major second (interval region)]])
* A sustained sound (see Wikipedia box)
* A [[pitch]], possibly taken from a [[chord]], a [[scale]] or a [[tuning system]]


From a technical perspective, the tone as an interval with frequency ratio [[9_8|9/8]] and a size of ca. 204 [[cent|cents]] is exactly the same as the major diatonic second.
