7-limit tuning
(Playⓘ) Compositions with septimal tunings include La Monte Young's The Well-Tuned Piano, Ben Johnston's String Quartet No.

A. Serre, Moritz Hauptmann, Alexander John Ellis, Wilfred Perrett, Max Friedrich Meyer.
LaMonte Young created a lattice containing only identities 3 and 7, thus requiring only two axes, for The Well-Tuned Piano.
[7] One, called by Ptolemy the "tonic diatonic," is ascribed to the Pythagorean philosopher and statesman Archytas of Tarentum.
