The '''lazy third''', '''315/256''' is an incredibly good approximation to the [[16/13]] tridecimal neutral third, differing by only [[4096/4095]]. However, rather than being utonal like 16/13, it is otonal, being the 315th harmonic. | |||

The name is derived from the color notation (Lzy3). Coincidentally, it is also a surprisingly simple and accurate approximation of the 13th subharmonic, and so acts as a lazy way to approximate 13 in a 7-limit scale, although this is not the source of the name. | The name is derived from the color notation (Lzy3).
