-[[File:1-3-9-17_Hexany.png|thumb|Circle diagram (rotated).]] A [[17-odd-limit]] [[Hexany]]. This creates a scale of 1 17/16 9/8 17/12 3/2 51/32 2/1, with steps of 17/16 18/17 34/27 18/17 17/16 64/51. This is essentially a subset of 12edo, reminding us how well that encapsulates the 2.3.17.19 subgroup, but a curious one that sounds nothing like the diatonic scale most music is created in. This means it has value in a similar way to using the [[6edo|whole tone scale]], demonstrating how you can create fresh sounding music by selective subtraction rather than adding new elements.
