| == REVERSE MEANTONE! ==
| | '''Reversed meantone''' is a [[regular temperament|temperament]] which tempers out the [[41-limit]] [[comma]] [[82/81]]. |
| As meantone is based on the syntonic comma, 81/80, tempering the fifth flat, tempering [[82/81]] instead results in a sharper fifth, and a major third equivalent to the 41st harmonic instead of the 5th, so it might as well be called reverse meantone. The 41st is very delicate however and mistuning by several cents destroys it, so if its use is intended as more than a joke exact quarter comma tempering is best, although [[39edo]] does a fair job.

| Related to this idea, [[162/161]] is a 23-limit comma (specifically 161 = 7 × 23), and [[163/162]] being prime would indeed be ridiculous.

As a very high limit interval, however, that [[41/32]] is far less recognizable as an interval than meantone’s 5/4, and would more likely be heard as a flat 9/7.

| The more well known [[64/63]] comma equates 9/8 with 8/7 instead of 10/9, which also results in a sharper fifth, and the major third is equivalent to 9/7.
