Romanian Minor Scales

The Romanian Scale brings a beautiful melancholic sound of the Romanian folk

music with a touch of gypsy. See pictures below of all Romanian Minor scales.

The Romanian Scale is built with a flat third, sharp fourth and flat seventh which is rather

uncommon. The formula is written like: 1 2 b3 #4 5 6 b7.
