Each course of strings has a row of small levers near the nut. Flipping a mandal shifts that course up or down by a quarter-tone, half-tone, or smaller koma interval — instantly, without retuning. This lets a kanun player follow modulations (geçki) through different makams\/maqams in a single piece without stopping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost factory kanuns ship with 3-4 mandals per course (enough for basic playing). Professional Turkish kanuns by master makers carry 24-26 mandals per course — the precision needed for true koma-level pitch adjustment in advanced makam transitions (Hicaz Hümayun, Saba, certain Karcığar variants).
