In [[7-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''7/6''' is the '''subminor third''' <ref>[[Hermann von Helmholtz|Hermann L. F. von Helmholtz]] (1875). ''On the sensations of tone as a physiological basis for the theory of music'', p. 284.</ref> or '''septimal minor third'''. At about 267 cents, it is smaller than both the [[5-limit]] minor third ([[6/5]], ~316 cents) and the familiar [[12edo]] minor third (300 cents). In contrast to [[5/4]] and [[6/5]], 7/6 is noticeably more consonant than it's counterpart [[9/7]], and a [[6:7:9]] subminor triad can sound very stable compared to a [[14:18:21]] supermajor triad. It can also be used with [[8/7]] in a [[6:7:8]] triad dividing [[4/3]] rather than [[3/2]], though this chord is better voiced as 4: | In [[7-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''7/6''' is the '''subminor third''' <ref>[[Hermann von Helmholtz|Hermann L.
