'''Slendro''' is a [[tuning system]] used in Indonesian gamelan music. It provides an octave-repeating pentatonic [[scale]], although [[stretched and compressed tuning|octaves are usually stretched]] to account for the high inharmonicity inherent to gamelans and (in Bali) to produce complex beating patterns known as ''ombak''.<ref>Sethares, W. A., & Vitale, W. (2020). ''Ombak'' and octave stretching in Balinese gamelan. Journal of Mathematics and Music, 16(1), 1–17. https://doi.org/10.1080/17459737.2020.1812128</ref>

In Javanese gamelan, the tones of slendro are numbered 1 2 3 5 6. Tuning varies between gamelan, but most modern Javanese sets encountered in North America seem to be a familiar major pentatonic scale with 3 as the "tonic," but with considerable equalization in the direction of [[5edo]]. However, it's important to note that Slendro is not exactly 5edo, despite being accurately approximated by 5edo, since in practice the five intervals are all slightly unequal.
