A 13-limit bihexany. This creates a scale of 1 351/320 9/8 39/32 13/10 27/20 117/80 3/2 13/8 27/16 9/5 39/20 2/1, with steps of 351/320 40/39 13/12 16/15 27/26 13/12 40/39 13/12 27/26 16/15 13/12 40/39. While sharp-trending, this does map unambiguously to a 12-tone keyboard and no notes are smaller than a fifth-tone, making all the steps melodically usable, and 8 of the notes have a 3/2 above them to create stable chords with, a few of which also have 5-limit major or minor chords, giving it a wide selection of both familiar and xenharmonic harmonies.
