The third simplest 5-limit Hexany. This creates a scale of 1 9/8 5/4 45/32 3/2 15/8 2/1, with steps of 9/8 10/9 9/8 16/15 5/4 16/15. Like the 1-3-5-9 hexany, this is an unambiguous detemper of the diatonic scale with a single note missing, although in this case there are no wolf fifths, making it extremely consonant within the limited combinations of notes available. It includes two 5-limit minor and major chords, which can all be played together to create a maj9#11 chord that still sounds pleasant in pretty much every mode.
