Chord & FretDouble harmonic (Byzantine) on ukulele (C)
Double harmonic (Byzantine) in C: C – Db – E – F – G – Ab – B. On the ukulele, the high reentrant G reshuffles the pattern — the scale climbs and falls in compact regions. The box shown runs from fret 1 to 4; the lowest tonic sits on the 3rd string, open, and the hand stays put in the region, with no position shift. Its soft nylon strings sound warm and mellow, light enough to float gently over a song.
Once the shape is memorized, play the box in thirds — the real memory test.
In the diagram, each dot carries its scale degree — 1 is the tonic, highlighted.
A scale never lives in one box — double harmonic (Byzantine) on ukulele has 4 more positions along the neck. In Chord & Fret, you hear the scale in the instrument's own voice, synthesized string by string; switch the dot labels between degrees, note names and fingers; and run it up, down or in a full round trip.
