[[File:1-3-5-9_by_7-5_bihexany.png|thumb|Circle diagram.]] The second simplest possible [[bihexany]] that produces a full 12 note scale, comprised of two-combination sum products of the first four 5-limit odd numbers offset by the simple septimal tritone. This creates a scale of 1 21/20 9/8 7/6 5/4 21/16 7/5 3/2 63/40 5/3 7/4 15/8 2/1, with steps of 21/20 15/14 28/27 15/14 21/20 16/15 15/14 21/20 200/189 21/20 15/14 16/15. This is particularly notable because it extends the near complete diatonic scale created by the basic [[1-3-5-9 hexany]] neatly to a 12 note scale that is an unambiguous detemper of [[septimal meantone]]. No note deviates by more than 33 cents from 12edo and it maps neatly to a standard keyboard with many highly consonant chords available. 8 notes have a perfect fifth above them, 2 have ones that are flat by a [[syntonic comma]], 1 is flat by a [[marvel comma]] and still entirely usable as a regular fifth, and the final one is sharp by a [[64/63|septimal comma]].
