Interval information |
557122275/556583994, or 1.673649 cents, is the amount by which five justly tuned 19/17's and two 15/14's exceeds an octave. As the ratio between these intervals is very close to phi, this is a strong harmonic entropy minimum in the golden meantone sequence, particularly well suited to stringed instruments that are normally tuned with slight octave stretches due to the inharmonicity of their partials.
