41edo admits an [[archaeotonic]] scale with L = 6\41 (also the generator) and s = 5\41; this is also the closest that 41edo gets to 7edo. This scale isn't really awkward to play as a scale on the Kite guitar, though it slides up to the next rainbow zone. Scales approximating harder archaeotonic scales are possible, with the small step being 2, 3 or 4 arrows and the large step 6, 7 or 8 arrows. An example is 6 7 6 6 7 6 3, which doesn't slide up the fretboard.
