64/61 = 26 ⋅ 61−1, the harry minor semitone, makes for a good tuning for harry temperament, and in particular is only 0.001 cents flat of the POTE generator for 13-limit harry. It also makes for an excellent tuning for the generator of tritikleismic temperament; hence, harry consists of two parallel tracks of 64/61 steps and tritikleismic of three parallel tracks. As a fraction of an octave 64/61 falls between 9\130 and 7\101. It can also be described as the octave-reduced 61st subharmonic.
