In our previous contribution Bozkurt and Yarman et al. [2009], we had shown the fitness of several theoretical models in matching the histogram peaks of pitch measurements from masters of Turkish Art music in 9 maqam categories. The results had demonstrated, and still demonstrate, the high performance of particularly two tuning schemes: “Yarman-24a” (as an alternative to the Pythagorean and as yet official Arel-Ezgi-Uzdilek) and “Mus2” based on 53-tone Equal Temperament. Here, we update the comparison tables with minor corrections, and present a link to the spreadsheet document that was used for this purpose. The errata in question are minute in general and do not significatively affect our earlier conclusions. We also include a new comparison with Aşık Veysel’s Bağlama frets.
