In [[17-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''20/17''' is the '''diatismic minor third''', measuring about 281.4{{cent}}. It falls short of the [[32/27|Pythagorean minor third (32/27)]] by a [[136/135|diatisma (136/135)]], hence the name. It is the [[mediant]] of [[7/6]] and [[13/11]], as it is (7 + 13)/(6 + 11). It is found in the [[harmonic series]] between the 17th and 20th [[harmonic]]s.
