51/50, the large septendecimal sixth tone, or the 17th-partial chroma, is a 17-limit superparticular interval of about 34.3 ¢.

This interval is the 17th-partial chroma (17-limit formal comma) used to express 17-limit intervals in Ben Johnston's notation, being expressed with a "17", while its reciprocal is denoted as "17" (a turned "17"). If the base note is C, then 17/16 is represented by C–C#17.
