Nikriz

Nikriz is the implementation of the Nikriz scale in Turkish makam music. It is in 53 Tone Equal Temperament.

Nikriz 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 Nikriz within 48-TET would be:

• Ukrainian Dorian (3, 7 included along with 7)

Usage

Songs that use the Nikriz scale

• Tanrıya Feryat
• Sevda Çiçeği [<nowiki/>]
