Rast is the implementation of the Rast scale in Turkish makam music. It is in 53 Tone Equal Temperament.

Rauf Yekta Bey's model places the Rast Makam as the gamme naturale of Turkish Classical Music and centers the theoretical approach around it.[1] In the Arel Ezgi Uzdilek system, the scale centered in the theory became Çârgâh.[1]
