A 17-odd-limit Hexany. This creates a scale of 1 17/16 11/8 17/12 11/6 187/96 2/1, with steps of 17/16 22/17 34/33 22/17 17/16 192/187. It's immediate neighbour 1-3-9-17 maps closely to a subset of 12edo, this adds a little greater complexity by mapping neatly to a subset of 24edo, which means the steps are even more lopsided, but still remain melodically distinct. It has two perfect fifths, which can be used to provide some degree of stability, but no familiar chords, making it usable but quite xenharmonic in sound overall.
