ukulele scale
A♯ diminished (half–whole)
The same eight notes started a half step earlier: the scale that spells a dominant seventh with a flat ninth and a sharp ninth at once.
The same sounds spelled from the other side are B♭ diminished (half–whole).
Written out
Every accidental is written in, rather than left to a key signature, so the letters can be read one at a time.
The step pattern
What is true of it
A♯ diminished (half–whole) is A♯, B, C♯, C𝄪, D𝄪, E♯, F𝄪 and G♯, and back to A♯.
Its steps are H – W – H – W – H – W – H – W, where W is a whole step and H a half.
Written correctly it needs 10 alterations, C𝄪, D𝄪 and F𝄪 among them. That is what the letters force, and it is also why nobody writes music in this key: the same notes spelled from the other side are easier to read.
Across the first twelve frets of the ukulele its notes fall in 34 places, which is what makes a scale a shape rather than a list.
