ukulele scale
D♭ Lydian dominant
Raised fourth and flattened seventh at once — the fourth mode of melodic minor.
The same sounds spelled from the other side are C♯ Lydian dominant.
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
D♭ Lydian dominant is D♭, E♭, F, G, A♭, B♭ and C♭, and back to D♭.
Its steps are W – W – W – H – W – H – W, where W is a whole step and H a half.
On the same tonic, D♭ Lydian differs from it by exactly one note.
Across the first twelve frets of the ukulele its notes fall in 29 places, which is what makes a scale a shape rather than a list.
