The Kartvelian (heptatonic) scale is the traditional scale of Georgian folk music.

The scale is an alternating pattern of 4edf and 3ed4/3, conjoined together and closing at the octave. Musicologically, it is a candidate for the prototypical well temperament, if regarded to be an approximant of 7edo in cultural practice[citation needed].

The Kartvelian scale has been generalised by Moremajorthanmajor into a whole family of scales, the Kartvelian scales.
