Straw is a 24-note just intonation scale with a long tube-shaped lattice. It is a constant structure 7-limit detemper of 24c, and is a subset of the 29-note Monorail scale. Abnormality has noted how an ordinary Halberstadt keyboard matches with the notes of Straw remarkably well, thus playing this scale on such a keyboard has significant potential in practice.

They also note that the 315/256 can be changed to a 32/27 to make the scale more optimized for the otonal 4:5:6 and 6:7:8 chords over their utonal counterparts. This new scale is called Modstraw, short for "Modified Straw".
