In [[7-limit]] [[Just Intonation]], 10/7 is a high tritone measuring about 617.5¢. It has a similar sound to its inversion, [[7/5]], but may sound a little edgier, less relaxed. Nonetheless, it is considered a septimal consonance. It appears in chords where a major third ([[5/4]]) appears above the harmonic seventh ([[7/4]]), such as 4:6:7:10. (This particular chord is well-approximated in [[88cET]], which has a good approximation of 10/7 -- but no 7/5.)
