Buzzard is a temperament that splits a tempered perfect twelfth (3/1) into four generators of 21/16 subfourths, tempering out 65536/64827. If harmonic 5 is desired, it is found by twenty-one generators octave-reduced, tempering out 1728/1715 and 5120/5103. It extends to the 13-limit by tempering out 176/175, 351/350, 540/539, and 676/675.

Buzzard was named by Herman Miller in 2004[1].
