Diatonic instruments are musical instruments that produce pitches based on the diatonic scale, which consists of seven pitches. The diatonic scale includes five whole steps and two half steps in each octave and can be represented in two common forms: the major scale and the natural minor scale. In terms of instrument examples, diatonic instruments typically refer to those that are designed to play within a certain key, covering the diatonic notes naturally available within that key.
