Despite being none other than the tripled superset of the famous 53edo, and hence, one would think, fairly easy to find, it is a wonder that the first person to show theoretical interest in it in terms of extracting a voluminous subset for representing maqams was [[Ozan Yarman]] in late 2005 to early 2006. | Despite being none other than the tripled superset of the famous 53edo, and hence, one would think, fairly easy to find, it is a wonder that the first person to show theoretical interest in it in terms of extracting a voluminous subset for representing maqams was [[Ozan Yarman]] in late 2005 to early 2006. | ||
Yarman started by dividing the [[4/3]] into 33 equal parts and continued the resultant 15.1 cent comma until just below the octave, only to then reinstate the final 79th degree with the octave so as to arrive at the "yegah-neva" partition. He then rotated the scale to begin on the Turkish "rast" note which he notated as C according to Sipürde Ahenk (C Ney), and thus the 22.8 cent larger singular comma previously on top now appears just below the Turkish neva note in the midst of his tuning scheme. Not long after proposing said 79-tone system, Yarman visited the now-deceased Ejder Güleç in İzmir who affixed mandals on Yarman's Qanun according to Yarman's instructions. | Yarman started by dividing the [[4/3]] perfect fourth into 33 equal parts and continued the resultant 15.1 cent comma until just below the octave, only to then reinstate the final 79th degree with the octave so as to arrive at the "yegah-neva" partition.

[[Gene Ward Smith]] was the first to immediately point out that Yarman's scheme was a MOS of 159-tET and had an 80-pitch twin. Yarman adopted this argument, because his approach and the related MOS subset out of 159-tET was, for all intents and purposes, synonymous. Yarman has stated that he thinks he introduced his Qanun to his now-deceased supervisor in Istanbul Technical University Turkish Music State Conservatory sometime during late 2006, and she suggested that Yarman include the double-sharp mandals. At the time this information was added to this article, Yarman remembered that the Qanun in his doctorate defense of 2008 included the double-sharp mandals. The acceptance of his thesis was in June 2008. | [[Gene Ward Smith]] was the first to immediately point out that Yarman's scheme was a MOS of 159-tET and had an 80-pitch twin.
