C Double Harmonic Major
C · D♭ · E · F · G · A♭ · B
Often called the gypsy or Byzantine scale, C Double Harmonic Major has a flat second, major third, flat sixth, and major seventh, producing two augmented seconds — one at each end. That symmetry gives it an intensely ornate, Middle Eastern character. Widely used in Balkan, Arabic, and Jewish music, and popular with metal guitarists.
