Note that just because a tradition has an equipentatonic scale doesn’t mean it uses it exclusively. Indonesian gamelan for example uses equipentatonic slendro scales, but also far-from-equal [[pelog]] scales too. Also, the term “scale” here is used loosely, because many, perhaps the majority, of musical traditions don’t use scales, but use something else like tetrachords, raag, etc. that scales can only loosely model. | Note that just because a tradition has an equipentatonic scale doesn’t mean it uses it exclusively.
