Like human music, corvan music displays enormous diversity and their instruments have similar basic mechanisms (strings, winds, membranophones and idiophones). One difference is that they favor higher registers than humans, because the corvan hearing range is about an octave higher. (Impact on string inharmonicity?) Many corvan cultures do not consider simple dyadic harmony or JI-based harmony to be musical per se, any more than speakers of human tonal languages consider their language to be musical. Particularly, speakers of the bitonal language [????] have evolved an impressive Zheanism-like musical tradition utilizing extended high-overtone harmony, various JI colorings of the intervals used in speech, and extremely precise vocal control.
