Hiya, I play saxophone and I was wondering if anyone knows which maqamat do not use quartertones, so I can play along to music on sax.
Thank you!

Nahawand, Kurd, Ajam for starters dont use microtones. sometimes Hijaz is played with microtones on the 2nd and 3rd, sometimes without. In practice though usually maqams modulate to eachother and some microtone will be played eventually!
