The C-sharp major scale is:

:{{block indent|<score sound raw>

\header { tagline = ##f }

scale = \relative c' { \key cis \major \omit Score.TimeSignature

cis^"NaturalC♯ natural major scale" dis eis fis gis ais bis cis bis ais gis fis eis dis cis2 \clef F \key cis \major }

\score { { << \cadenzaOn \scale \context NoteNames \scale >> } \layout { } \midi { } }

</score>}}

Changes needed for the melodic and harmonic versions of the scale are written in with accidentals as necessary. The C-sharp [[Harmonic major scale|harmonic major]] and [[Melodic major scale|melodic major scales]] are:

:{{block indent|<score sound raw>

\header { tagline = ##f }

scale = \relative c' { \key cis \major \omit Score.TimeSignature

cis^"HarmonicC♯ harmonic major scale" dis eis fis gis a bis cis bis a gis fis eis dis cis2 \clef F \key cis \major }

\score { { << \cadenzaOn \scale \context NoteNames \scale >> } \layout { } \midi { } }

</score>}}

:{{block indent|<score sound raw>

:<score sound raw>

\header { tagline = ##f }

scale = \relative c' { \key cis \major \omit Score.TimeSignature

cis^"MelodicC♯ melodic major scale (ascending and descending)" dis eis fis gis ais bis cis b a gis fis eis dis cis2 \clef F \key cis \major }

\score { { << \cadenzaOn \scale \context NoteNames \scale >> } \layout { } \midi { } }

</score>}}

A [[harp]] tuned to C-sharp major has all its pedals in the bottom position. Because all the strings are then pinched and shortened, this is the least resonant key for the instrument.
