1/3-comma meantone is the tuning of meantone temperament in which each perfect fifth is tempered by a third of a syntonic comma from its just value of 3/2. This results in minor thirds being exactly 6/5 (and major sixths being exactly 5/3). In other words, 1/3-comma meantone is the specific tuning of meantone temperament with an eigenmonzo (unchanged-interval) of 6/5. The fifth is 694.786 cents in size, and the major third 379.145 cents. Both are flat by 1/3 syntonic comma (c. 7.2 cents) than that in the JI. 1/3-comma meantone is practically identical to the closed system of 19edo (although technically there is a slight difference).
