Original Wikitext content:
In [[Just Intonation]], 9/7 is a supermajor third of approximately 435.1¢, characteristic of [[7-limit]] and beyond. On its own, it has a very strident quality, but in the context of a chord, it can sound perfectly consonant. The 9-limit hexad, 4:5:6:7:8:9 includes a septimal supermajor third between the 7th and the 9th. A just chord can be built with this wide third in place of the more traditional [[5_4|5/4]]. This supermajor triad would be 14:18:21. This triad can be very effective in music, but in this context, the modern ear, accustomed to 12edo thirds of 400¢ is likely to hear 9/7 as a mistuned major third instead of a new class of interval in its own right. Chords such as the 9-limit hexad above and subsets of it give more opportunity for 9/7 to be heard as consonant.
