'''Slendro''' is a [[tuning system]] used in Indonesian gamelan music. It provides an octave-repeating pentatonic [[scale]], although the [[octave stretch|octaves are usually stretched]] to ~~compensate for the inharmonicity~~ of ~~the instruments~~.

'''Slendro''' is a [[tuning system]] used in Indonesian gamelan music. It provides an octave-repeating pentatonic [[scale]], although the [[octave stretch|octaves are usually stretched]] to produce complex beating patterns known as ''ombak''.

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.
