'''5/4'''
In [[5-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''5/4''' is the [[frequency ratio]] between the 5th and 4th [[harmonic]]s. It has been called the '''just major third''', '''classic(al) major third''', or '''ptolemaic major third'''<ref>For reference, see [[5-limit]].</ref> to distinguish it from other intervals in that neighborhood. Measuring about 386.3 [[cent|¢]], it is about 13.7{{c}} away from [[12edo]]'s major third of 400{{c}}. It has a distinctive "sweet" sound, and has been described as more "laid back" than its 12edo counterpart. Providing a novel consonance after 3, it is the basis for [[5-limit]] harmony. It is distinguished from the [[Pythagorean]] major third of [[81/64]] by the syntonic comma of [[81/80]], which measures about 21.5{{c}}, and from the Pythagorean diminished fourth of [[8192/6561]] by the [[schisma]], which measures about 1.95{{c}}. 81/64 and 5/4 are both just intonation "major thirds", 81/64 having a more active and discordant quality, 5/4 sounding more "restful".

In the context of the harmonic series, 5/4 can be heard between the 4th and 5th member of the series, demonstrated in [[:File: 5-4.mp3]] melodically in singing into a resonant [[udderbot]] (from the fundamental up to 5 and then noodling between 5 and 4).

In [[Just Intonation]], '''5/4''' is the frequency ratio between the 5th and 4th harmonics. Measuring about 386.3[[cent|¢]], it is about 13.7¢ away from [[12edo]]'s major third of 400¢. It has a distinctive "sweet" sound, and has been described as more "laid back" than its 12edo counterpart. Providing a novel consonance after 3, it is the basis for [[5-limit]] harmony. It is distinguished from the [[Pythagorean]] major third of [[81/64]] by the syntonic comma of [[81/80]], which measures about 21.5¢. 81/64 and 5/4 are both just intonation "major thirds," 81/64 having a more active and discordant quality, 5/4 sounding more "restful".

5/4 the interval, like all ''intervals'', refers to a ''relation'' between two pitches. It has been called the ''just major third'' to distinguish it from the other intervals in that neighborhood.
