300px|right|thumb|Characteristic trichord of maqam sigah, on E half-flat Segah (Kurdish: سێ گاە; ; ; ) (From Persian se-gāh, سه + گاه = سهگاه "third place") is a musical mugham in traditional Kurdish, Persian, Azeri and Turkish traditional music.
== Description == It is named Segah because the maqam starts on the third degree in relation to the "basic" "Magham" scale found in Rast. Sigah features a half-flat tonic and a half-flat fifth scale degree; as such, it has an unstable sound that tends to favor its own third degree, found on a whole tone.
