Description: The long-standing conflict between the Arel-Ezgi-Uzdilek System and Turkish Maqam Music practice had been established through computer analyses of audio recordings. Results incontrovertibly manifest the conscious employment of multifarious "middle second" intervals peculiar to the genre, yet, evaded by the current model. It is maintained, that non-conformance arose because the 24-tone Pythagorean theory in effect was specifically engendered to ward off "quarter-tones" which allegedly affiliated the Maqam Music heritage to Byzantines & Arabs. The author debunks the current model for falling short of accommodating played intervals, and predicates furthermore, that historical and contemporary alternatives cannot favourably reflect the plethora of microtones observed in performance, either. On such grounds, a novel 79-tone tuning has been developed and implemented on a unique custom-made qanun by the author. This tuning is defended as a solution to overcome persisting issues regarding the accurate representation and consistent understanding of maqamat.
