5L 17s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 5 large steps and 17 small steps, repeating every octave. 5L 17s is a great-grandchild scale of 5L 2s, expanding it by 15 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 709.1 ¢ to 720 ¢, or from 480 ¢ to 490.9 ¢.
