'''2/5-comma meantone''' is a tuning of meantone where the [[3/2|fifth]] is flattened by 2/5 of the [[81/80|syntonic comma]], producing a fifth of 693.352 cents. This is approximated well by [[45edo]]. | '''2/5-comma meantone''' is a tuning of meantone where the [[3/2|fifth]] is flattened by 2/5 of the [[81/80|syntonic comma]], producing a fifth of 693.352 cents.

The most accurate choice for extending 2/5-comma meantone into the [[7-limit]], [[11-limit]] or [[13-limit]] is [[flattone]] temperament. In fact, 2/5-comma meantone’s fifth is almost exactly the CTE generator for 11-limit flattone - less than 0.2 cents different. | The most accurate choice for extending 2/5-comma meantone into the [[7-limit]], [[11-limit]] or [[13-limit]] is [[flattone]] temperament.
