Is this the top secret invention for Maqamat ?
قرص الكمال
للمقامات الموسيقية
( Al Kamal wheel of Musical Maqamat )
I heard about this invention, never get to see it, any idea what is it, and where to buy it?.
Thanks a million
Sameh

The translation is not quite accurate..
This is actually a CD/DVD for maqams, etc..
I don't understand why you'd call it "top secret".. You can simply tell us about it, and if it's good enough people will definitely buy it..

that is not the CD-DVD one, this is a manual 2-3 wheels or discs if you like to call them, atop of each other that you turn them certain ways to get
to the right reading.

uha! I think I know what you're talking about 
Is it something like those round sky maps that come with telescopes?! This would be a fantastic idea(if done properly)!!
skymap example:

EDIT:
After searching a little more, I found out that the disc was made and published/sold in 1985 in Syria..

Thanks for the link
Do you know if it possible to get those discs on the web? I think they can be useful in musical practice.

The discs were only sold in Syria during the 80's..
I think they're already out of print..
I'm 90% positive the wheel is something like Nahat's most famous rosette that includes the maqamat..
