216. | In [[17-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''17/15''' is the "septendecimal whole tone" measuring about 216.7¢. It is the [[mediant]] between [[9/8]] and [[8/7]], as it is (9+8)/(8+7). It is found in the [[OverToneSeries|harmonic series]] between the 17th and 15th overtones. [[11edo]]'s second degree, measuring approximately 218.2¢, is close in size to 17/15 -- indeed, the 11edo system has excellent approximations of the 15th and 17th harmonics, and so this harmonic function is plausible in 11edo. | ||
√2/(17/15) is three cents flat of a 5/4 major third, and this or 17/15 itself can be used for a tuning for wizard and its various relatives (lizard, gizzard, etc.). | |||
