'''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|eigenmonzo (unchanged interval)]] of 6/5.

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). | '''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]].

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 as 19edo's fifth is 0.05 cents flatter).
