The hendrix chord, a 7#9no5 chord, has several possible JI interpretations.

Chord information
Harmonics 4:8:10:14:16:19

In the 19-limit it may be tuned as 4:8:10:14:16:19, an extended harmonic seventh chord.

Step cents 1200¢, 386¢, 583¢, 231¢, 267¢
Prime limit 7
Genus 3 ⋅ 5 ⋅ 7 (105)
Intervallic odd limit 15
Otonal odd limit 21
Utonal odd limit 35
Consistent edos (d ≥ 1.5) 10edo*, 12edo, 21edo, 22edo, …

In the 7-limit it may be tuned as 6:12:15:21:24:28, also an extended harmonic seventh chord.

Harmonics 10:20:25:36:40:48
Intervals from root 1/2 – 1/1 – 5/4 – 9/5 – 2/1 – 12/5
Cents from root -1200¢ 0¢ 386¢ 1018¢ 1200¢ 1516¢

Prime limit 5
Genus 32 ⋅ 52 (225)
Intervallic odd limit 25
Otonal odd limit 25
Utonal odd limit 75
Consistent edos (d ≥ 1.5) 12edo, 15edo, 19edo**, 31edo, …

In the 5-limit it may be tuned as 10:20:25:36:40:48, an extended major-minor seventh chord.

It can also be tuned as an essentially tempered chord that splits the difference between the 19/8 10th and the 7/3 10th. This chord tempers out the hendrix comma of 57/56. It is notable for existing in 12-EDO; other equal divisions with hendrix chords include the 9, 10, 14, 16, 17, 21, 22, 26, and 31 equal divisions.

Todo: review

The paragraph about tempering 57/56 needs more explanation, and may be incorrect.
