The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.
Original Wikitext content:
[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanun_%28instrument%29|Qanun/Kanun (Wikipedia)]] As an instrument of [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian|arabic/turkish/persian]] music, the qanun has, of course, microtonal cababilities built in, in the form of "mandals" (turkish) or "orabs" (arabic) - small levers that can change the pitch of a string slightly and can be raised or lowered quickly by the performer while the instrument is being played. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFIQMM8bZQk&NR=1|Here]] is an example how this is done (player is [[Julien Jalaleddine Weiss]]). Since the qanun, even with mandals, is essentially a fixed-pitch instrument, a choice of the available pitches has to be made, so the qanun is a case for [[Arabic, Turkish, Persian#Unequal%20temperaments%20for%20maqamat|unequal temperaments for maqams]]. The art of tuning lies in the positioning of the mandals. Turkish kanuns are traditionally tuned in (a subset of) [[72edo]] . [[Ozan Yarman]]'s proposition for a maqam tuning in his [[@http://www.ozanyarman.com/files/doctorate_thesis.pdf|dissertation]](79-tone [[MOSScales|MOS]] subset of [[159edo]]) was also realized on a qanun. A number of qanun tunings were designed by [[Julien Jalaleddine Weiss]]. See [[tuning systems for qanun]], or [[http://stefanpohlit.com/dissertation.engl..htm|Stefan Pohlit's dissertation]].
