26-comma
Interval information |
reduced harmonic
The 26-comma is a semifourth that acts as a comma in certain temperaments. It is the difference between 26 perfect fifths and 15 octaves.
While it is exceptionally large for a comma (two of them make a near-perfect fourth, off by the small 53-comma), it is tempered out in 26edo, because of that temperament's narrow fifths.
As an untempered interval, it approximates intervals like 15/13, and is the simplest Pythagorean interval of this size. As such, it could also be known as the Pythagorean semifourth, or possibly the flatma, given 26edo's connection to flattone.
