Comparison with Western scales Since the makam is based on 53-TET, it is impossible to directly tie it to 12-TET Western scales. However, using the 48-TET model, while worse than many other models in approximation, allows for such comparisons.
The approximation of Acemli Rast within 48-TET would be: Mixolydian(3).
Notes This is because 48 is divisible by 12. denotes a quarter flat, 25 cents in this case. (One Holdrian Comma in 53-TET)
