The '''Kartvelian (heptatonic) scale''' is a modern interpretation of the traditional scale of [[Music of Georgia|Georgian folk music]].

Note that this is just one possible interpretation, there is no academic consensus on the underlying scale of Georgian vocal music.

The scale is an alternating pattern of [[4edf]] and [[3ed4/3]], ~~conjoined~~ together and closing at the octave~~. Musicologically, it is a candidate for the prototypical well temperament, if regarded to be an approximant of [[7edo]] in cultural practice{{Citation needed}}~~.

The scale is an alternating pattern of [[4edf]] and [[3ed4/3]], joined together and closing at the octave.

The term ''Kartvelian scale'', referring to the family of [[Wikipedia:Kartvelian languages|Kartvelian languages]] (of which the [[wikipedia:Georgian language|Georgian language]] is the main representative), seems to have been coined by [[User:Moremajorthanmajor|Moremajorthanmajor]].
