Basit Suzinak in 53-TET

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 Basit Suzinak within 48-TET would be:

• Major (3, 6, 7)

• Harmonic Major (3, 6, 7)
