'''256/255''', the '''charisma''', '''charic comma''' or '''septendecimal kleisma''' is a [[small comma|small]] [[17-limit]] [[superparticular]] comma about 6.8 [[cent]]s in size. It is the difference between [[16/15]] (the classical diatonic semitone) and [[17/16]] (the large septendecimal semitone), the difference between [[128/85]] (the archagall fifth) and [[3/2]] (the just perfect fifth), and the amount by which a stack consisting of [[15/8]] and 17/16 falls short of an [[octave]]. It is a [[Mersenne comma]]. | '''256/255''', the '''charisma''', '''charic comma''' or '''septendecimal kleisma''' is a [[small comma|small]] [[17-limit]] [[superparticular]] comma about 6.8 [[cent]]s in size.
