The lattice for the Chair of Mr. Bob

Kee'ra (Chair of Mr. Bob)

This scale consists of the intervals 21/20, 35/32, 6/5, 21/16, 7/5, 3/2, 8/5, 105/64, and 7/4 within the octave 2/1. When it is loaded in Scale Workshop, the lattice resembles a chair. The name "Chair of Mr. Bob" was given by dotuXil. The name "Kee'ra" was given by Vector Graphics to serve as a single-word name consistent with the most common scale names.
