3L 8s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 3 large steps and 8 small steps, repeating every octave. 3L 8s is a child scale of 3L 5s, expanding it by 3 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 763.6¢ to 800¢, or from 400¢ to 436.4¢.

This scale has versions relating to ditonic/coditone, roman, bossier, sqrtphi and squares.
