'''1/5-comma meantone''' is the tuning of [[meantone]] temperament in which each perfect fifth is tempered by a fifth of a [[syntonic comma]] from its just value of [[3/2]]. This results in major sevenths being exactly [[15/8]] (and minor seconds being exactly [[16/15]]), and in fact this defines 1/5-comma; it is the regular tuning which tempers out [[81/80]] and tunes [[2/1|2]] and [[16/15]] purely. | '''1/5-comma meantone''' is the tuning of [[meantone]] temperament in which each perfect fifth is tempered by a fifth of a [[syntonic comma]] from its just value of [[3/2]].
