Gjaeck is a [[Tridecatonic MOS|tridecatonic]] ([[5L 8s]]) [[MOS scale]] of [[57edo|57ed2]] optimized for the prime harmonics 11, 13, 17, and 19, while not optimizing for the simpler prime harmonics 3, 5, and 7.

Gjaeck tempers out some other high-limit commas too:
57p tempers out some other high-limit commas too:
* The Blume comma, 2057/2048; moving up by two 11’s and then an 17 gets you nowhere: 26 + 26 + 5 = 57.
* The [[Blume comma]], 2057/2048; moving up by two 11’s and then an 17 gets you nowhere: 26 + 26 + 5 = 57.
* The yama comma, 209/208, since 26 + 14 = 40; moving by an 11 and 19 is the same as moving by a 13
* The [[yama comma]], 209/208, since 26 + 14 = 40; moving by an 11 and 19 is the same as moving by a 13

While the 11th harmonic is the most prevalent sound, the 19th is the rarest. But since the 19th is the key to the Blumeyer comma, being the one of the four higher harmonics that sits by its lonesome on one side of the ratio while the other three party together, we should pay special attention to the moments in the scale with LsL.

The generator for this MOS is 35th step of 57, which is 736.8421¢, an interval associated with the 21st harmonic.

While 57 = 19⋅3 and thus 57ed2 extends [[19edo|19ed2]], Gjaeck bears little resemblance to 19ed2; it feels more like a whacked out [[13edo|13ed2]], pinched and pulled in a particular way to more perfectly capture the four higher harmonic primes.
