A moderately composite 5-limit Hexany. This creates a scale of 1 25/24 5/4 3/2 9/5 15/8, with steps of 25/24 6/5 6/5 6/5 25/24 16/15. This is quite lopsided, but in an interesting way that makes it easy to expand into a bihexany or stellated hexany without introducing any unusably small intervals. It has a 5-limit major and minor chord, which can be combined into a major 7th chord, plus the diminished tetrad has a different flavour in each inversion, making it quite distinct from the equidistant 12edo version.
