1-3-5-7-9-11 eikosany
The simplest possible eikosany, comprised of three-combination sum products of the first 6 odd numbers. This creates a scale of 1 33/32 21/20 11/10 9/8 7/6 99/80 77/60 21/16 11/8 7/5 231/160 3/2 63/40 77/48 33/20 7/4 9/5 11/6 77/40 2/1, with steps of 33/32 56/55 22/21 45/44 28/27 297/280 28/27 45/44 22/21 56/55 33/32 80/77 21/20 55/54 36/35 35/33 36/35 55/54 21/20 80/77. With largest steps of slightly over 100 cents and smallest ones of 31 cents, this is actually fairly optimal melodically for the number of notes it has and contains many simple familiar chords, making it a good introduction to larger just intonation scales, but is still a significant step upwards in complexity compared to using 12edo and requires a custom instrument to play ergonomically, making it much harder to work in than a hexany or dekany.
