Hello Dubai!As many people I tune my oud by the way of a chromatic tuner or I sometimes check the A440 with a simple diapason. The Morkos tune is
different, according to my ear.I'm looking for another interpretation because I tired to change my tune especially to be able to follow it!!

Bon Jour Gilgamesh! If this composition is near in pitch to 440 then I think there is some software available that can raise or lower the pitch of a
recording to 440 so you can play along with it. maybe someone at your local music store might know about it. bon chance!: mw

Ciao Matteo!That's a good idea! Gracia ragazzo! But it's a big way-->for just a little track... That's why I hope that another version does
exist! But you are true, considering that the whole album is tuned bizarre !!!

Hi G.- I think this melody begins in a modal G minor, like nahawand farahfaza It's too short a sample for me to figure out where it moves to
chord-wise after that.
I'm no expert in Morkos music or tunings but in the first song clip, after a short introduction the melody then seems to be rooted around a modal G
minor, like nahawand farahfaza ... then chords move around after this . hope this helps you figure some of it out!

hi gilgamesh
to me seems tuned higher (A 445/446 hz)
in the first track I think it's makam rast in C in both forms rast-rast and rast-nahawand, because it starts on the second jins rast in G (and in the
way down nahawand in G) and after it develope on the first jins rast in C
but I think Brian should give the right interpretation on this..
Anyway you can use the software "transcribe!", where you can play the song and pitch it, slow it, play with a bordone note, you can make loops, so
also of a single note and there's a screen where you can detect the note playing.. try it, is very useful
Ale.

Gracia mile ragazzi... the software transcribe is a revelation for me; very very,very usefull... I enjoy such a gesture of solidarity, that I can
only find among this killer forum! I hope I will soon reach a sufficient level to be able to share my music with you.Baci a tuti!

This piece is in Bayati, the Morkos ensemble is tuned down approximately a whole step, if I remember correctly.
