C♯ Phrygian places the dark Phrygian sound on a root that sits squarely in sharp-key territory. The half step from C♯ up to D — the defining ♭2 — delivers the exotic tension that makes Phrygian instantly recognisable. Built from the notes of A major, C♯ Phrygian is a useful key for guitarists who play in drop-C♯ tuning and for keyboardists looking for a Phrygian colour with a familiar set of sharps.
