Re: I'm remodelling my last name, please tell me what version you like best ?

I think you should leave it as it is. Maschik is the most attractive and disctinctive of the three names you mentioned.

What's wrong with Maschik?

I always felt like I was stuck with it, and couldn't ever really appreciate it, but you're right, there isn't anything wrong with it.
My last name is Homayouni, and when I was younger I hated it. Then I became a composer, and the name serves me well -- you couldn't pay me to change it. It sounds like a composer!
I almost took my mother's maiden name Rahn when I was eighteen. So glad I didn't. Brandon Rahn practically blends into the wall!

I love both of those surnames. I could imagine both Homayouni and Rahn working well as a name for a composer. Neither surname is common so they both stand out nicely.
I also prefer Maschik over the other spellings. Though if you were dead set on changing the spelling I prefer Machik over Mashik. Though none of them are bad spellings in my opinion.

I disagree. I find Brandon Rahn to be drab and too understated to stand out among composers. I really do.
I've never met anyone with the surname Rahn before so I feel that it stands out though you're right that Homayouni definitely stands out more.
