A little surprising is, however, that one property of the harmonica that might be called essential for oriental music, its [[Harmonica\|natural ability to play microtones]], seems to be hardly ever used.

	This page documents some of the arabic maqam scales that can be played on standard harmonicas, especially those maqamat with neutral seconds and/or thirds, which are impossible to approximate in [[12edo\|12edo]]. Quite a number of them can be played without too much difficulty on a standard diatonic harmonica, with the standard "bending" playing technique alone. Others require the more advanced playing technique of overblowing and/or a harmonica witih a non-standard tuning. A number of special harmonica tunings are commercially available. Examples that are interesting with respect to maqamat are ''[~~http~~://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BQlbK0YYxU Steve Baker special tuning]'', ''[~~http~~://www.youtube.com/watch?v=higvIZUKlJg spanish tuning]'', ''[~~http~~://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YI5yZACY_M country tuning]''.
