Harris, don't get discouraged because of the lack of response, you've probably caught most of us out of our waters. I'm slightly acquainted with a young Turk here in Florida who is a violinist, I'll pass word along. If that doesn't lead to anything don't fret, the Mudcat is worldwide, sooner or later you'll get a response. Or at least an argument!!

Meanwhile, what are Maqams?
