<h2>IMPORTED REVISION FROM WIKISPACES</h2>
'''Chopsticks''' is a symmetrical [[non-octave]] [[mos scale]] which can be played in [[15ed4]] or [[15ed6]] which is a subset of [[15edo]]. It can be seen analogous to Asian{{clarify}} pentatonic scales but with twice as many pitches covering a span of [[6/1]]. As it is a non-octave scale, the [[octave]] doesn't exist within the scale. This makes the upper section of scale have a xen-like, interesting quality when played in conjunction with the lower hexachord.

=Construction=  
== Construction ==
The scale is built from a pattern of LsLsLsLsLs with the Large step being 320 cents and the small step being 160 cents. The nature of the scale is macrotonal meaning that nothing similar to a semitone exists in the scale. It's built from two hexachords of LsLsLs. The odd factor is that the scale contains ten distinct pitches and repeats at 6/1 rather than 3/1.

== Sound ==
While the scale is symmetrical, it has a wonderfully interesting sound. Scales which are sLsLsLsLsL tend to sound brighter than LsLsLsLsLs modes.
