The gong kebyar style of Balinese gamelan music uses a pentatonic scale that
has two (roughly) semitone intervals.

Dear list

I have a nagging notion that not all of the world's pentatonic scales are
anhemitonic: some do have semitone intervals in them. The best reference I
can find this morning is on p62 of Storr "Music and the Mind", but I'm sure
somewhere I've got a long list of extant pentatonic scales. Perhaps someone
else has this.
