In Turkish classical music, the Nikriz pitch class set is a set of scales that are named after the Nikriz makam. For Nikriz, there is only the pentachord, as the 4th is raised. The Nikriz pentachord is the same as putting the 53-TET equivalent of a whole step in the beginning of the Hicaz tetrachord.
