75/56, the marvelous fourth (505.8¢), is 225/224 (7.7¢) sharp of the just fourth 4/3. It often arises in just intonation scales. Tempering out 225/224 from the scale can be used to make it much less sharp, but it is usable as it is, being only half a cent sharp of the 19edo fourth of 8\19. Considered as a meantone fourth, it is approximately 5/14-comma meantone.
