== Javanese gamelan ==

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 it is not uncommon for the pairs 1-5, 2-6, and 3-7 to be approximated by [[3/2]].

Traditionally, there are three ''pathet'', or modes, of Pelog. ''Pelog nem'' (or ''pathet nem'') uses the tones {{dash|1, 2, 3, 5, 6|d=med}} with an emphasis on either ~~6–2~~ or ~~5–1~~ depending on the piece (technically, depending whether the piece is emulating [[Slendro]] manyuro or Slendro songo). ''Pelog barang'' uses {{dash|2, 3, 5, 6, 7|d=med}}, usually emphasizing 6+2 or 3+7. ''Pelog lima'' is a sort of "odds and ends" for uses of the {{dash|1, 2, 3, 5, 6|d=med}} scale that don't really fit into anywhere else. Definitions are somewhat fuzzy and may vary by gamelan master. The 4 tone is not often encountered, and some elaborating instruments lack the tone entirely.
