14L 3s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 14 large steps and 3 small steps, repeating every octave. 14L 3s is a great-grandchild scale of 3L 5s, expanding it by 9 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 423.5¢ to 428.6¢, or from 771.4¢ to 776.5¢.

This scale is associated with Squares temperament because the number of generators it takes to get to each of the primes 3, 5 and 7 is a square (3=-4 generators, 5=-16, 7=-9).
