The diatonic, Guidonian, or major hexachord (6-32) is a hexachord consisting of six consecutive pitches from the diatonic scale that are also a consecutive segment of the circle of fifths: F C G D A E = C D E F G A = "do-re-mi-fa-sol-la". It is the thirty-second hexachord as ordered by Forte number, and its complement is the diatonic hexachord at the tritone.
