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. Others require the more advanced playing technique of ioverblowing and/or a harmonica witih a non-standard tuning. A number of special harmonica tunings are commercially available. Examples that are interesting with respect to maqamat are [[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]].

This list is, of course, far from being complete.

As I am still exploring this realm, the musical examples on this page inevitable must be labeled "amateurish attempts". In case so many amateurish attempts make you sick, do a web search for one of the guys listed above.

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

----

==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)
