The '''silver third''' is the octave-reduced second [[Metallic_harmonic_series|metallic mean]], and is either a wide minor third or a narrow supraminor one. It differs from the first metallic mean ([[acoustic phi]]) by an interval that can act as a [[meantone]] fifth. | The '''silver third''' is the octave-reduced second [[Metallic_harmonic_series|metallic mean]], and is either a wide minor third or a narrow supraminor one.

It can be used as a generator for many temperaments using a sharpened [[6/5]], such as [[keemic]] or [[doublewide]], and is closely approximated by [[11edo|3\11]]. | It can be used as a generator for many temperaments using a sharpened [[6/5]], such as [[keemic]], [[orgone]] or [[doublewide]], and is closely approximated by [[11edo|3\11]]. | ||
This is not to be confused with [[argent tuning]], which uses the ''logarithmic'' silver ratio. | This is not to be confused with [[argent tuning]], which uses the ''logarithmic'' silver ratio. | ||
