8/53-comma meantone is the tuning of meantone temperament which tunes the fifth as 698.709 cents. This means the fifth is flattened by 8/53 of the syntonic comma (81/80) of 21.506 cents, which is to say by 3.246 cents.
It is a good tuning for domineering temperament, which is one possible 11-limit extension of meantone.
