The half diminished scale is a seven-note musical scale. It is more commonly known as the Locrian ♮2 scale[1] or the Aeolian ♭5 scale, names that avoid confusion with the diminished scale and the half-diminished seventh chord (minor seventh, diminished fifth). It is the sixth mode of the ascending melodic minor scale.
