Note that all of the above applies to the twelve-note scale that is almost ubiquitous in Western music. However, this is not the only scale that has ever been used. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/17_equal_temperament Seventeen-]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarter_tone twenty-four-note]] scales originated in the Middle East (notably Persia). [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/19_equal_temperament Nineteen-]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/22_equal_temperament twenty-two-]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/31_equal_temperament thirty-one-note]] scales have also been used, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_temperament amongst others]]. These require modifications to many traditional instruments (for instance, guitars would need to be re-fretted for the new scale, and you'd need a piano or keyboard specially constructed for the new scale), and you'd need to learn how to play them in the new scale. Some instruments, such as fretless basses, violins, and trombones, would not need modifications, but you'd still need to learn to disregard the traditional twelve-note scale. Notation is also, necessarily, different in these scales; and, confusing things further, there is not always a single notation standard. For these and other reasons, Western music in other scales is not particularly common, but it does exist.
