A 29-odd-limit Hexany. This creates a scale of 1 9/8 29/24 87/64 3/2 29/16 2/1, with steps of 9/8 29/27 9/8 32/29 29/24 32/29. This is a detempered version of 6 out of 7 notes of the minor diatonic scale, but in the opposite direction to the 1-3-7-9 hexany, increasing the size of the semitone step and making it more even overall than the 12edo diatonic scale. Despite the slight neutral flavouring, the thirds are still easily recognisable as major and minor and there are two each of major and minor chords, making this highly effective but not particularly xenharmonic.
