{{Harmonics intro|8}} [[Dante Rosati]] calls this the "Diatonic harmonic series scale". It is a highly effective scale. Above its root it contains many commonly-used intervals such as [[9/8]], [[5/4]], [[3/2]], [[7/4]], [[15/8]], and [[2/1]].

The [[otonal heptad]] can be obtained by removing harmonic 15.


The smallest [[edo]] that maintains 25% or lower relative error on all intervals of this scale is [[87edo]].
