He composes music for solo of tombak and tombak group with different pitches , ranging from traditional to his personal style. He is working on a new notation system for tombak as a result of acoustical parameters and a system of fingering classification for this drum .
As a microtonalist , he works on different tuning systems such as :
*** Equal divisions of length( EDL)
*** Arithmetic irrational divisions of octave AIDO(or nonoctave,interval)
*** Equal divisions of octave(EDO)
Shaahin mohajeri believes that 96-EDO is a good system for intervallic structure of persian music with more accurate estimation than ali naqi vaziri's 24-EDO system.Now,He is working on a microtonal notation system based on 96-EDO for persian music and on a model for tuning systems classification based on divisions of octavic or nonoctavic musical scales and systems.
