The Pythagorean family tempers out the [[Pythagorean comma]], 531441/524288 = {{Monzo|-19 12 0}}, which implies [[12-edo]]. This family includes the compton and catler temperaments. Temperaments in this family tend to have a period of 1/12th octave The 5-limit compton temperament can be thought of as multiple rings of 12-edo, offset from one another by a justly tuned 5/4, or alternatively by a tempered 81/80. Several 12-edo instruments slightly detuned from each other provide an easy way to make music with these temperaments. | The Pythagorean family tempers out the [[Pythagorean comma]], 531441/524288 = {{Monzo|-19 12 0}}, which implies [[12-edo]].
