Slendro (Javanese: ꦱ꧀ꦭꦺꦤ꧀ꦢꦿꦺꦴ, Balinese: slendro) (Sundanese: salendro) Playⓘ is one of the essential tuning systems used in gamelan instruments that have pentatonic scale.[3][4] Based on Javanese mythology, the Slendro Gamelan tuning system is older than the pélog tuning system.
^"The representations of slendro and pelog tuning systems in Western notation shown above should not be regarded in any sense as absolute. Not only is it difficult to convey non-Western scales with Western notation, but also because, in general, no two gamelan sets will have exactly the same tuning, either in pitch or in interval structure. There are no Javanese standard forms of these two tuning systems." Lindsay, Jennifer (1992). Javanese Gamelan, p.39-41. ISBN 0-19-588582-1.
