The harmonica is an instrument that is well suited to play oriental ([[Arabic, Turkish, Persian|arabic/turkish/persian]], but also [[Indian|indian]]) music styles.
Known harmonica players that play oriental music are, e.g., [[http://straaten.com/|Roland van Straaten]], [[http://www.levyland.com|Howard Levy]], [[http://shtreiml.com/shtreiml.php|Jason Rosenblatt]], [[http://www.blueswebzine.com/interviews/jantso_jokelin_jay_sinister_triple_jay_interview.html|Jantso Jokelin]].

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

This page documents some of the maqamats that can be played on standard harmonicas, especially those with a strong microtonal component, which are impossible to approximate in [[12edo]]. Quite a number of them can be played without too much difficulty an a standard diatonic harmonica, with the bending technique alone. If you have mastered the overblowing technique, even better! (The above-mentioned harmonica players all use overblowing a lot, btw.)

There are also a number of commercially available special harmonica tunings such as [[http://www.hohnerusa.com/index.php?29|Steve Baker special tuning]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=higvIZUKlJg|spanish tuning]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YI5yZACY_M|country tuning]]. Some of these allow more possibilities for maqamat.

The categorization of the maqamat below follows [[http://www.maqamworld.com/|http://www.maqamworld.com]] .

----
=Ajam family= 
==Jiharkah== 
Standard diatonic harmonicas allow to play a Jiharkah scale on first position (starting on C on a C harmonica).
Harmonicas in Steve Baker special tuning, spnish tuning and also country tuning allow to play Jiharkah also on second position (starting on G on a C harmonica)
XXX

----
=Bayaty family= 
==Bayati== 
Standard diatonic harmonicas allow to play a full Bayati scale on 4th position (starting on A on a C harmonica) and on 5th position (starting on E on a C harmonica).

[[media type="file" key="HarmonicaBayati110815006.MP3" width="240" height="20"]]
A phrase in maqam Bayati, fifth position on a standard diatonic harmonica in Bb (amateurish attempt)

==Bayati Shuri/Karjighar== 
XXX

==Husseini== 
XXX
----
=Rast family= 
==Rast/Yakah/Yekah== 
While standard harmonicas can play certain phrases in maqam Rast but not the full scale, harmonicas in Steve Baker special tuning, spanish tuning and country tuning allow to play a full Rast scale, both ascending and descending (which is different!), on second position (starting on G on a C harmonica).

[[media type="file" key="HarmonicaSpaRast110913001.mp3" width="240" height="20"]]
A Rast scale (ascending and descending), second position on a harmonica in spanish tuning in C (amateurish attempt)

==Nairuz== 
Standard diatonic harmonicas allow to play a full Nairuz scale on third position (starting on D on a C harmonica).
[[media type="file" key="HarmonicaMaqamNairuz.mp3" width="240" height="20"]]
A Nairuz scale, third position on a standard diatonic harmonica in C (amateurish attempt)

==Mahur== 
Standard diatonic harmonicas allow to play a full Mahur scale on third position (starting on D on a C harmonica) and on 11th position (starting on F on a C harmonica).
Harmonicas in Steve Baker special tuning, spanish tuning and country tuning allow to play a full Mahur scale also on second position (starting on G on a C harmonica).

=Saba family= 
==Saba== 
Standard diatonic harmonicas allow to play a full Saba scale on 4th position (starting on A on a C harmonica) and on 5th position (starting on E on a C harmonica).
