Balinese Scales

The Balinese Scale (a.k.a. Balinese Pelog Scale) consists of five notes, which makes it a pentatonic scale. The intervals include two half steps, one whole step and two quadra-steps.

This scale can more correctly be treated as a mode built from a seven-note scale, (Pelog Selisir), and the particular one presented here with pictures could be called Selisir.
