3L 3s, named triwood in TAMNAMS, is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 3 large steps and 3 small steps, with a period of 1 large step and 1 small step that repeats every 400.0¢, or 3 times every octave. Generators that produce this scale range from 200¢ to 400¢, or from 0¢ to 200¢. Scales of the true MOS form, where every period is the same, are proper because there is only one small step per period. In addition to the true MOS (LsLsLs or sLsLsL), there are also near-MOS patterns of LLsLss and LLssLs, which are only proper if the generator is larger than 1\9.

Out of all proper six-note MOS scales, this augmented scale probably has the lowest harmonic entropy [clarification needed].
