The Kartvelian (heptatonic) scale is a modern interpretation of the traditional scale of Georgian folk 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 term Kartvelian scale, referring to the family of Kartvelian languages, seems to have been coined by Moremajorthanmajor.

Moremajorthanmajor has also generalized the Kartvelian scale into a whole family of scales, the Kartvelian scales.
