<h2>IMPORTED REVISION FROM WIKISPACES</h2>

This is an imported revision from Wikispaces. The revision metadata is included below for reference:<br>
Georgian folk music is well known for its traditional vocal polyphony. There is no clear consensus on the structure of the underlying scale or tuning system, except that it is [[equiheptatonic|heptatonic and close to equalized]]. It is sometimes claimed that their scales are based on equal divisions of the fifth, but this is hard to verify.
