	The '''otonal heptad''' is the seven-note [[just intonation]] scale 8:9:10:11:12:13:14:16: the harmonics 8 through 14, plus the octave. It is a common diatonic scale, and also sometimes called "the overtone scale" (see [[overtone scale]]). It is a rotation of [[Harmonics 7–14\|harmonics 7–14]]: starting that scale on its second degree, the 8th harmonic. It is also [[Harmonics 8–16\|harmonics 8–16]] without the 15th harmonic. As a [[13-limit]] scale built from consecutive harmonics, all of its notes share the same fundamental.
