Original Wikitext content:
In [[5-limit]] [[Just Intonation]], 6/5 is the classic minor third, measuring about 315.6¢. It is sharp of the Pythagorean minor third of [[32_27|32/27]] (about 294.1¢) as well as the 300¢ minor third of [[4edo]], [[12edo]] and all other 4n-[[edo]]s. It arises in the [[harmonic series]] between the 5th and 6th overtones and appears in the 5-limit otonal triad of 4:5:6. A 5-limit minor triad in just intonation can be written 10:12:15, with 6/5 falling between 10 and 12,[[5_4|5/4]] falling between 12 and 15, and [[3_2|3/2]] falling between 10 and 15. In higher-limit JI, 6/5 is only one of many minor thirds. A popular one in the [[7-limit]] is [[7_6|7/6]] (about 266.9¢), the septimal subminor third, which is [[36_35|36/35]] (about 48.8¢) flat of 6/5. Another in the [[13-limit]] is [[13_11|13/11]] (about 289.2¢), which is [[66_65|66/65]] (about 26.4¢) flat of 6/5. Both of these are more complex intervals than 6/5 and have their own character to them. See: [[Gallery of Just Intervals]]
