The Rast makam also has a Rast tetrachord extension in its lower registers, that is octave equivalent to the second çeşni in Rast ascending. The notes are: Yegâh, Hüseyni-Aşiran, Irak, ending with Rast. Comparison with Western scalesSince the makam is based on 53-TET, it is impossible to directly tie it to 12-TET Western scales.

While Rast descending would be:
