'''557122275/556583944''', or the '''mercurial comma''', has a value of 1.673649 [[cent~~|cents~~]], and is the amount by which five justly tuned [[19/17]]s and two [[15/14]]s exceed an octave. As the ratio between these intervals is very close to phi, this is a strong harmonic entropy minimum adjacent to the [[~~Golden_meantone|~~golden meantone]] sequence, particularly well suited to stringed instruments that are normally tuned with slight octave stretches due to the inharmonicity of their partials.
