'''Metallic intonation''' ('''MTI'''){{idiosyncratic}} is a system that is similar to [[just intonation]], but based on the irrational [[metallic harmonic series]] rather than the [[harmonic series]]. Intervals between these metallic harmonics are used as a basis for tuning. The metallic numbers are taken as [[basis element]]s of [[subgroup]]s rather than [[prime]]s, but not all metallic numbers are included (similar to how ~~only~~ some integers are ~~prime) since some are redundant~~. For example, the fourth metallic harmonic is a redundant generator because it is the golden ratio (the first metallic harmonic) cubed. It is related to and can sometimes overlap with [[merciful intonation]].
