In tunings other than 12edo, and particularly in [[just intonation]], there are a number of different tritones which have subtly different flavors, such as [[7/5]] and [[10/7]]. The temperament eliminating [[50/49]] is of particular interest in that it equates these two tritones, and provides a JI basis for the 12edo concept of the "tritone substitution". | In tunings other than 12edo, and particularly in [[just intonation]], there are a number of different tritones which have subtly different flavors, such as [[7/5]] and [[10/7]].
