An Arabic scale is any of various types of musical scale:

  • A double harmonic scale, including two intervals of augmented seconds
  • A quarter-tone scale, comprising 24 ascending tones in equal temperament
  • A 17-note scale, dividing the octave into 17 equal temperament steps
  • A major Locrian scale, comprising the tones C, D, E, F, Gb, Ab, Bb, C - sharing the distinctive characteristic with the B Locrian scale of having a diminished fifth above the tonic note.
