A 13-odd-limit stellated Hexany. This creates a scale of 1 9/8 91/80 819/640 13/10 7/5 91/64 117/80 63/40 13/8 7/4 9/5 117/64 63/32 2/1, with steps of 9/8 91/90 9/8 64/63 14/13 65/64 36/35 14/13 65/63 14/13 36/35 65/64 14/13 64/63. This expands the highly uneven base hexany into a somewhat more balanced distorted whole tone scale where each of the degrees has two or three notes a comma apart. It has no perfect fifths, and the closest approximations are 16 cents out, on the very verge of the diatonic tuning range, which means stable chords are few and far between and it is far easier to produce xenharmonic sounds using it.
