1/11-comma meantone

Revision as of 11:41, 18 March 2025 by Lériendil (talk | contribs) (changed novelty to niche)


1/11-comma meantone is a tuning of meantone where the fifth is flattened by 1/11 of the syntonic comma, producing a fifth of 699.9998836 cents. This is approximated well by 12edo, differing only by 1/132 of Kirnberger's atom.

In the 7-limit, 1/11-comma’s fifth is a good sharptone generator. In the 11-limit, it becomes a good meanertone generator.
