'''1/6 comma meantone''' is the tuning of [[Meantone family|meantone temperament]] which tunes the fifth as the sixth root of 45/4, or in other words 698.371 [[cent]]s. This means the fifth is flattened by 1/6 of the syntonic comma ([[81/80]] ratio) of 21.506 cents, which is to say by 3.584 cents, hence the name 1/6-comma meantone. In 1/6-comma meantone, the diatonic tritone [[45/32]] is tuned justly, and it can be characterized fully as the regular tuning tempering out 81/80 and tuning 2 and 45/32 justly. [[55edo]] and [[67edo]] approximate it sharply | '''1/6 comma meantone''' is the tuning of [[Meantone family|meantone temperament]] which tunes the fifth as the sixth root of 45/4, or in other words 698.371 [[cent]]s.
