Ava, have you heard much gamelan music? There's quite a bit out on CD both from Java and Bali. Unfortunately most of my CD collection is in storage or I'd offer some suggestions. Celestial Harmonies have some good examples including (from memory) a four CD box set with examples from many different orchestras, some with flute, some without.

The auditory midbrain is adapted to this task by its anatomy of stacked neuronal layers. Each layer processes sound signals from a specific bandwidth of the acoustical spectrum, and the separation into bands is optimal for the neuronal combination of harmonics that is needed for pitch extraction.

Because the auditory midbrain is hardwired for the processing of low-order harmonics in vocalization sounds, it is also hardwired for the processing of harmonic spectral components in music. The mechanism that provides pitch detection in speech does the same job in music as well. Our brain prefers harmonic tones and harmonic tone combinations, because it can extract more information from them.

You see it wasn't me that was out of tune it was your stacked neuronal layers.
