Syntonic temperament
The syntonic temperament is a system of musical tuning in which the frequency ratio of each musical interval is a product of powers of an octave and a tempered perfect fifth, with the width of the tempered major third being equal to four tempered perfect fifths minus two octaves and the width of the tempered major second being equal to two tempered perfect fifths minus one octave (i.e., half the width of the major third).
