In Javanese gamelan, the tones of Pelog are numbered 1 through 7 (traditionally associated with body parts: 1 = head, 2 = neck, 3 = chest, 4 = groin, 5 = knees, 6 = feet, 7 = hands). The exact tuning varies considerably between gamelan, but on most modern Javanese sets one would encounter in North America the pairs 1-5, 2-6, and 3-7 are roughly fifths. | In Javanese gamelan, the tones of Pelog are numbered 1 through 7 (traditionally associated with body parts: 1 = head, 2 = neck, 3 = chest, 4 = groin, 5 = knees, 6 = feet, 7 = hands).
