 Qanún - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These small levers, which can be raised or lowered quickly by the performer while the instrument is being played, serve to change the pitch of a particular course slightly by altering the string lengths.
While Armenian kanuns employ half-tones and Arabic qanuns quarter-tones, typical Turkish kanuns divide the equal-tempered semitone of 100 cents into 6 equal parts, yielding 72 equal divisions (or commas) of the octave.
Not all pitches of 72-tone equal temperament are available on the Turkish kanun, however, since kanun makers only affix mandals for intervals that are demanded by performers.

 The Jakarta Post - The Journal of Indonesia Today
Viewing the Qanun through the regional government law, it is no different from the ordinary Peraturan Daerah or Regional Regulations, except for its Arabic and Islamic-oriented terminology.
As noted earlier, Qanun sanctions cannot be tougher or different than the limitations set by the law on regional governments.
By stipulating such a harsh physical punishment this Qanun could be deemed to be in breach of regional law because it has violated the legal maxim of lex superior derogate lex inferior (a higher regulation prevails over a lower one).

 Najia reviews HRamsy's Qanun Cd for the Gilded Serpent
One would be hard pressed to find a finer maestro of the qanun anywhere in the world.  It was, therefore, a delight to my ears to listen to Hossam Ramzy’s latest offering to the seemingly hungry dance community, “Qanun El Tarab” (The Spirit of the Qanun/Kanoon).
Oddly titled “Mon Amour”, the last qanun feature on this recording seems overly pensive for a dance-oriented selection.  I might have feared that it could be used by those western-style dancers who get high on “the tragedy of life”, spinning too fast with their dance veils, while sporting a dower countenance.
Mon Amour is beautifully moody, and demonstrates Maged’s artistry on the qanun.
