Musical traditions that make use of equiheptatonic scales include:

* Eastern [[Angolan]] music

* [[~~Cambodian~~]] ~~classical~~ music

* Ancient [[Chinese]] music

* [[Ancient Greek]] auloi music

* [[Chopi]] music from [[Mozambican|Mozambique]] (inspired [[Erv Wilson]] to create the [[mavila]] temperament)

* [[Laotian]] classical music

* [[Mande]] music from West Africa

* [[Shona]] music from [[Zimbabwean|Zimbabwe]]

* [[Thai]] classical music (heavily disputed<ref>Garzoli, John. [http://iftawm.org/journal/oldsite/articles/2015b/Garzoli_AAWM_Vol_4_2.pdf ''The Myth of Equidistance in Thai Tuning.'']</ref>)

* [[Vietnamese]] classical music

* Lower [[Zambezi]] music

Note that just because a tradition has an equiheptatonic scale doesn’t mean it uses it exclusively. They often have other tunings 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 [[tetrachord]]s, [[Indian|raag]], etc. that scales can only loosely model.
