The '''harmonic scale''' is a twelve note scale in [[just intonation]] that repeats at the [[octave]]. Its pitches are derived from the [[harmonic series]] of a single frequency up to the [[21/1|21<sup>st</sup> harmonic]], meaning they go up to the [[19-limit]].

The harmonic scale can be described as a subset of [[16afdo|mode 16 of the harmonic series]] where harmonics [[23/1|23]], [[25/1|25]], [[29/1|29]], and [[31/1|31]] are removed, so that it's [[CS]]. It's also an example of including every harmonic as far out as possible while maintaining this property, so that it's an example of a [[Ringer scale]]. | ||
