Original Wikitext content:
In 1/5-comma [[meantone]] temperament, each perfect fifth is tempered by a fifth of a [[Syntonic Comma|syntonic comma]] from its just value of [[3_2|3/2]]. This results in major sevenths being exactly 15/8 (and minor seconds being exactly 16/15), and in fact this defines 1/5-comma; it is the meantone tuning which tempers out 81/80 and tunes 2 and 16/15 purely. 1/5-comma meantone is practically identical to the closed system of [[43edo]] (although technically there is a slight difference, as the fifth of 43 is 0.0207 cents sharper.)
