I thought I would be more specific. I listed a web site that does have many scales. None are indian so to speek..tabla etc. i am interested in Goa and other modern eastern music, but have questions about the modality of eastern music as used by Coltrane and other avante' garde jazz musicians of the 60's and 70's. What are modal scales and what is the differances between middle eastern and westeren modality.

look around for info on the "thath" scale
system, its basically a simplification of the
most common scales used in N. Indian Rags.
If you just want to fool around with the
common intervals of In. music, try using more
flat 2's and 3's, and sharp 4's.

Peaceout,

Peter
