-'''125/72''', the '''classic augmented sixth''' is [[5-limit]] just interval of about 955 [[cent]]. It can be obtained by adding [[5/3]], the classic major sixth, by [[25/24]], the classic chroma. In any [[kleismic]] system, it is tuned to an exact semitwelfth, tempered together with [[216/125]].

It is also the Pythagorean augmented sixth (59049/32768) sharpened by three [[81/80|syntonic commas]], which lends itself to the term ''triptolemaic''.
