[edit] Sources needed

This article doesn't cite it's sources, and I doubt the validity of the "patchy sound" section, because I use this scale often in my music and have not noticed patchiness. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.117.232.178 (talk) 05:35, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

In scales an interval of a third is considered a "gap" which is more or less apparent depending on the music you write. Sounds like in the music you write you think of the minor thirds as augmented seconds and treat them as such. The problem is with the terminology as "patchy" is indeed not the standard term.

[edit] Jewish scale?

I would of thought the Phrygian Major 3rd mode of the Harmonic minor is better known as the 'Gypsy scale', rather than 'Jewish scale'. Anyone agree? ArdClose (talk) 23:36, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Half Minor 2nd

Surely the second note is a flat second, a minor 2nd is the same as a major 2nd ArdClose (talk) 00:42, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
