	In equal temperaments, as seen above, there is always a tradeoff between the diverging requirements of high pitch accuracy and a manageable pitch count. One possible way out of this dilemma is use of unequal temperaments. These allow for playing of multiple maqamat with comparatively few notes, though this comes at the cost of being more restricted in the ability to modulate (at least from a fixed Arabic or Turkish perspective) between keys or maqamat.
