Folk music of Scotland and Ireland often uses a 6-tone scale which can be arrived at by stacking perfect fifths with an octave period, which depending on the mode used may be called the “Scottish hexatonic” scale, the “hexatonic minor” scale or other names. Historically, the tuning varied, though today it is usually (but not always) tuned to [[12edo]]. | Folk music of Scotland and Ireland often uses a 6-tone scale which can be arrived at by stacking perfect fifths with an octave period, which depending on the mode used may be called the “Scottish hexatonic” scale, the “hexatonic minor” scale or other names.

The folk music of some parts of [[Croatia]] often uses a 6-tone [[just intonation]] scale called the [[Istrian]] scale. It uses an unequal tuning, best approximated as a 6-tone subset of [[7ifdo]] ([[subharmonic]]s 7 to 14). | The folk music of some parts of [[Croatian|Croatia]] often uses a 6-tone [[just intonation]] scale called the [[Istrian]] scale.
