A minor seventh chord is a tetrad comprising a root, a minor third, a perfect fifth, and a minor seventh.
JI tunings
In the 5-limit:
- 10:12:15:18 is found on the iii (5⁄4) and vi (5⁄3) of Ptolemy's intense diatonic scale (Zarlino), perhaps the most common 5-limit diatonic.
- 27:32:40:48 is found on the ii (9⁄8) of Ptolemy's intense diatonic scale.
In the 3-limit:
- 54:64:81:96 is found on the ii (9⁄8), iii (81⁄64), and vi (27⁄16) of the Pythagorean diatonic scale, and may be considered a 3-limit approximation of both 10:12:15:18 and 27:32:40:48.
