It can also be tuned as an essentially tempered chord that splits the difference between the 19/8 10th and the 7/3 10th. This chord tempers out the hendrix comma of 57/56. It is notable for existing in 12-EDO; other equal divisions with hendrix chords include the 9, 10, 14, 16, 17, 21, 22, 26, and 31 equal divisions.
