'''Starling chords''' are [[Dyadic chord#Essentially tempered dyadic chords|essentially tempered dyadic chords]] tempered by the ~~staring~~ comma, [[126/125]]. The starling [[tetrad]] is an 126/125-tempered [[chord]] which in close position ([[octave reduction|reduced to an octave]]) consists of a chain of three approximate [[6/5]] minor thirds and an approximate [[7/6]] subminor third, in a tuning which tempers out the starling comma, 126/125, and hence causes it to close on the octave; that is, it is a starling-tempered 6/5-6/5-6/5-7/6, which may also be regarded as a tempered 1-6/5-10/7-12/7; it is also known as the septimal semicomma diminished seventh chord. In a meantone tuning the starling tetrad is three minor thirds and an augmented second, which is the traditional diminished seventh chord of common practice music in the meantone era. Also familiar from the music of common practice is the diminished [[triad]], a tempering of 1-6/5-10/7 with steps 6/5-6/5-7/5 when understood septimally.
