| As an instrument of [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian|arabic/turkish/persian]] music, the qanun has, of course, microtonal cababilities built in, in the form of "mandals" (turkish) or "orabs" (arabic) - small levers that can change the pitch of a string slightly and can be raised or lowered quickly by the performer while the instrument is being played. | | As an instrument of [[Arabic,_Turkish,_Persian|arabic/turkish/persian]] music, the qanun has, of course, microtonal cababilities built in, in the form of "mandals" (turkish) or "orabs" (arabic) - small levers that can change the pitch of a string slightly and can be raised or lowered quickly by the performer while the instrument is being played. |

| Since the qanun, even with mandals, is essentially a fixed-pitch instrument, a choice of the available pitches has to be made, so the qanun is a case for [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian#Unequal%20temperaments%20for%20maqamat|unequal temperaments for maqams]]. The art of tuning lies in the positioning of the mandals.
