Comparison with Western scales
Since the makam is based on 53-TET, it is impossible to directly tie it to 12-TET Western scales. However, using the 48-TET model, while worse than many other models in approximation,{{Cite journal |last1=Bozkurt |first1=Barış |last2=Yarman |first2=Ozan |last3=Karaosmanoğlu |first3=M.

This is because 48 is divisible by 12.
The approximation of Nikriz within 48-TET would be:
