In [[7-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''7/6''' is the '''subminor third''' <ref>Hermann L. F. von Helmholtz (1875). ''On the sensations of tone as a physiological basis for the theory of music'', p. 284.</ref> or '''septimal minor third'''. At about 267 cents, it is smaller than both the [[5-limit]] minor third ([[6/5]], ~316 cents) and the familiar [[12edo]] minor third (300 cents). In contrast to [[5/4]] and [[6/5]], 7/6 is noticeably more consonant than it's counterpart [[9/7]], and a 6:7:9 minor triad can sound very stable compared to 14:18:21 . | In [[7-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''7/6''' is the '''subminor third''' <ref>[[Hermann von Helmholtz|Hermann L.
