3L 15s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 3 large steps and 15 small steps, with a period of 1 large step and 5 small steps that repeats every 400.0 ¢, or 3 times every octave. 3L 15s is a great-grandchild scale of 3L 6s, expanding it by 9 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 333.3 ¢ to 400 ¢, or from 0 ¢ to 66.7 ¢.
