Circle diagram (rotated).

A 17-odd-limit Hexany. This creates a scale of 1 17/16 7/6 119/96 17/12 7/4 2/1, with steps of 17/16 56/51 17/16 8/7 21/17 8/7. Every step is larger than 100 cents and it has 2 perfect fifths, making it quite melodically effective, but it still lacks familiar chords, and the multiple tritones make it quite dissonant when all the notes are played together.
