Ajam and Shawq Awza do not contain neutral intervals and as such can be approximated in 12edo (Ajam will appear as a diatonic major scale then). But harmonicas can serve if a more subtle intonation is desired, taking into account that the major third of the Ajam tetrachord is lower than the major third of 12edo.

Both Ajam and Shawq Awza scales with a major third slightly lowered can be played on standard diatonic harmonicas on third position (starting on D on a C harmonica) and on 12th position (starting on F on a C harmonica). With the overblowing playing technique, on second position (starting on G on a C harmonica), too. With the bending playing technique alone, Shawq Awza including the slightly lower major third can be played on harmonicas in spanish tuning, Ajam on harmonicas in spanish tuning, Steve Baker special tuning and country tuning.
