Description

Turkish notation to Arabic Most Turkish music is written in Bolahenk notation, which is a fourth higher than concert pitch. The starting note is usually Sol instead of Do, and written Sol sounds as Re. We consider three different Oud tunings: • Fa-Fa High Arabic (Fa – La – Re – Sol – Do – Fa) • Do-Do Standard Arabic (Do – Mi – La – Re – Sol – Do) • Re-Re Turkish (Re – Fa# – Si – Mi – La – Re)
