The '''archytas clan''' tempers out the [[64/63|Archytas comma]], 64/63. This means that four stacked 3/2 fifths equal a 9/7 major third. (Note the similarity in function to [[81/80]] in meantone, where four stacked 3/2 fifths equal a 5/4 major third.) This leads to tunings with 3s and 7s quite sharp, such as those of [[22edo]]. | The '''archytas clan''' (or '''archy family''') tempers out the [[64/63|Archytas comma]], 64/63.
