20/1, the 20th harmonic, is the harmonic past 19/1 and before 21/1. It is about four octaves and four semitones in size. Used in harmony, it sounds particularly wide: if the lower note is C2, the higher note will be about E6. Think of a soprano and a bass at their extremes. Like 12/1, it can be approached in various ways of stacking, such as 1–2–4–5–10–20.
