This page presents a novelty topic.
It may contain ideas which are less likely to find practical applications in music, or numbers or structures that are arbitrary or exceedingly small, large, or complex. Novelty topics are often developed by a single person or a small group. As such, this page may also contain idiosyncratic terms, notation, or conceptual frameworks. |

This page is about Budjarn Lambeth’s idiosyncratic use of this comma. For mainstream xenharmonic uses see 89/88.
89/88, a.k.a. the tailwind comma, is an 89-limit superparticular comma tempered out by two of the Batch 89 temperaments.
Tempering this comma on its own gives the tailwind temperament, a rank-2 2.11.89 subgroup temperament.
Tempering out 89/88 equates the harmonics 11/8 and 89/64.
If not tempered out, then 89/88 is very well approximated by 1 step of 36edf.
