For turkish musik, Ozan Yarman also proposes [[34edo]] and [[41edo]] as acceptable compromises. These have the property that the larger neutral second has a character close to a minor wholetone, and, playing the Rast maqam with it, the third note is less a neutral third than a 5/4-style major third. This matches the turkish variant of Rast which indeed has such a third - the arabic variant, however, is lower. 41edo and 34edo can thus be considered suited for turkish music but less so for arabic music. | For turkish musik, Ozan Yarman also proposes [[34edo]] and [[41edo]] as acceptable compromises.
