→Meantone Temperament
=== Meantone Temperament ===
Meantone Temperament is a tuning system that follows a similar logic as [[#Pythagorean Tuning|Pythagorean Tuning]]; however, rather than use a 3:2 ratio for the perfect 5th to derive the other notes, it uses a perfect 5th slightly flat of that ratio, such that a specific M3 interval is reached. This avoids the somewhat dissonant 3rds that Pythagorean tuning produces, while following the same logic, rather than resorting methodology to an equal temperamentderive its tones.
