The ''' | The '''vavoom comma''' is a [[5-limit]] comma, which manifests itself as the difference between a stack of seventeen classic diatonic semitones of [[16/15]] and a perfect twelfth of 3/1. Tempering it out in the 5-limit leads to the [[vavoom family]] of temperaments. | ||
When it is viewed as a comma in the 16.3.5 subgroup, the vavoom comma is tempered out in [[17edt]], since one step of 17edt is very close to 16/15. | |||
