Scales source and guide for musicians
The Oriental Scale has a Chinese origin (not to be confused with the Chinese Scale, though), and is an octatonic scale (a scale consisting of eight notes). A feature to observe is that the scale is characterized by groups of semi-note intervals (see scale formula below).
