'''4:5:6:7''', the ''harmonic seventh chord'', is the simplest [[tetrad]] in [[7-limit]] harmony. It is often used as a tuning target for the [[dominant seventh chord]] in barbershop music (→ [[Wikipedia: Harmonic seventh chord #Barbershop seventh ]]), and also for the German augmented sixth chord in [[septimal meantone]].

It is a [[dyadic chord]] in the [[7-odd-limit]], with its most complex interval a [[7/5]] tritone. It is the [[octave reduction|octave-reduced]] version of the first four odd harmonics, 1:3:5:7, or the first eight harmonics, 1::8. It is the fundamental otonal consonance of the 7-odd-limit. The utonal minor version of this chord is [[70:84:105:120|~~1-6~~/~~5-3~~/~~2-12~~/7]], sometimes called the ''subharmonic sixth chord''. The harmonic seventh chord can be modified by inflecting the [[5/4]] down by [[25/24]] and [[7/4]] down by [[49/48]] to get the subharmonic sixth chord.
