Well, that might depend on the music, the instrument, the performer, and 
what you like!
It's good when everybody's happy.

So, how wide is that?



.....really, since 5ths aren't all that critical to the sound
of a temperament (within reasonable boundaries). In fact, as
Werckmeister's instructions show, he had no problem with a wide 5th or
even two or three, as long as they weren't wide enough to be wolves.
