In [[5-limit]] [[Just Intonation]], 10/9 is a small whole tone of about 182.4¢. It is a [[superparticular]] interval, as you can find it in the harmonic series between the 9th and the 10th overtones. It is one of two essential whole tones in the 5-limit; the other one is [[9_8|9/8]] (about 203.9¢), which is [[81_80|81/80]] (about 21.5¢) higher than 10/9. 9/8 is an octave-reduced overtone, and it is closer to [[12edo]]'s single whole step of 200¢. Thus, 9/8 is more familiar and less difficult to tune by ear than 10/9. | In [[5-limit]] [[Just Intonation]], 10/9 is a small whole tone of about 182.4¢.

The first three notes of a JI major scale -- 1/1, 9/8, 5/4 -- move by a step of 9/8 followed by a step of 10/9. In systems where 81/80 is tempered out (in 12edo, [[19edo]], [[31edo]] and other [[meantone]] systems) that distinction is lost and this sounds like two equal-sized steps. In strict JI, the difference is tiny and hard to notice at first. | The first three notes of a JI major scale -- 1/1, 9/8, 5/4 -- move by a step of 9/8 followed by a step of 10/9 (or alternatively 1/1, 10/9, 5/4 -- move by a step of 10/9 followed by a step of 9/8).
