A 13-odd-limit dekany. This creates a scale of 1 33/32 13/12 9/8 39/32 11/8 143/96 3/2 13/8 11/6 2/1, with steps of 33/32 104/99 27/26 13/12 44/39 13/12 144/143 13/12 44/39 12/11. With 6 perfect fifths, but also some decidedly xenharmonic clusters in two different parts of the scale, this is quite an interesting scale that combines plenty of points of stability with multiple different types of third above them to create different moods.

Suggested keyboard mapping: Start on E, skipping the C# and Eb notes to maximise the number of intervals on the white keys. This does map some keys to almost 100 cents away from 12edo, and not all the perfect fifths are 7 steps above their roots, which may affect the intuitiveness of certain chords.
