Did you mean by that following corresponding absolute pitches,
or which other frequncies had you concrete in mind when
creating that particular one by the factor 59?

C: 531 := 59*9
C# 560 280 140 70 35 = 7*5
D: 594.675 := 264.3*9/4
Eb 630 315 = 7*5*9
E: 666 333 = 37*9
F: 708 354 177 = 59*3
F# 747.625 = 1329*9/16
G: 794.7 = 88.3*9
G# 840 = 240*3
A: 890 445Hz ? probably yours intend A4=445 cps ?
Bb 945 = 105*9
B: 997.875 = 887*9/8

Hence i do agree with your's observation:
