=== Monkey and Bunya ===

Monkey~~, the monkey puzzle tree temperament{{clarify}},~~ tempers out the keema and has a wedgie <<4 9 -15 5 -35 -60||. The keema, 875/864, is the amount by which three just minor thirds fall short of 7/4, and tells us the 7/4 of monkey is reached by three minor thirds in succession. It can be described as the 34&41 temperament, if the vals in question are taken to be [[patent val]]s, meaning that ''n''×log<sub>2</sub>(prime) rounded to the nearest integer gives the mapping. [[41edo]] is an excellent tuning for monkey, and has the effect of making monkey identical to bunya with the same tuning.

Bunya~~, the bunya-bunya tree temperament{{clarify}},~~ adds 225/224 to the list of commas and may be described as the 41&75 temperament. It has <<4 9 26 5 30 35|| as a wedgie, and [[41edo]] can again be used as a tuning, in which case it is the same as monkey. However an excellent alternative is (14)^(1/26) as a generator, giving just 7s and an improved value for 5, at the cost of a slightly sharper, but still less than a cent sharp, fifth. Octave stretching, if employed, also serves to distinguish bunya from monkey, as its octaves should be stretched considerably less.

Octave stretching, if employed, also serves to distinguish bunya from monkey, as its octaves should be stretched considerably less.

Since the generator in all cases is between 10/9 and 11/10, it is natural to extend these temperaments to the 11-limit by tempering out (10/9)/(11/10) = 100/99. This gives 11-limit monkey, <<4 9 -15 10 …|| and 11-limit banya, <<4 9 26 10...||. Again, 41edo can be used as a tuning, making the two identical, which is also the case if we turn to the {2,3,5,11} temperament, dispensing with 7. However 11-limit bunya, like 7-limit bunya, profits a little from a slightly sharper fifth, such as the (14)^(1/26) generator supplies, or even sharper yet, as for instance by the val <355 563 823 997 1230|, with a 52/355 generator.
