Near-5edo scale

Or [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian|~~arabic maqams~~]]:

The same property makes the harmonica very well suited to play [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian|middle-eastern]] and [[indian]] music:

[[media type="file" key="HarmonicaMaqamNairuz.mp3" width="240" height="20"]]

Line 27:

A harmonica in [[http://www.hohnerusa.com/index.php?29|Steve Baker special tuning]] allows to play an ascending maqam Rast scale, and a harmonica in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=higvIZUKlJg|spanish tuning]] allows to play a full maqam Rast scale (ascending and descending).

XXX ToDo: Rast examples

A pioneer in playing middle-easter and indian music on the harmonica is [[http://straaten.com/|Roland van Straaten]]. A beautiful example (maqam Hijaz - this one is not microtonal, though) can be listeneded to [[http://straaten.com/CoralLoveDance2.4MB.mp3|here]].

These points (and the fact that the instrument is small and cheap) make the harmonica a good candidate as a gateway to microtonal music.</pre></div>
