drone pipe

The drone pipe has a finger hole, which allows it to be stopped.

It is sometimes described as a natural wooden trumpet or "drone pipe".

The drone pipe in a pivtoradentsivka is usually shorter than the playing pipe.

Some bladder pipes were made with a single drone pipe, and reproductions are similar to a loud, continuous crumhorn.

The Scottish pipes, the Great Pipe, or piob-mohr, first had only one drone pipe.

Hulusi (vertical gourd free-reed flute normally with one or two drone pipes)

He also produced a triple flageolet which added a third, drone pipe which was fingered in a similar way to an ocarina.

It is not uncommon for a hulusi to have only one drone pipe while the second outer pipe is merely ornamental.

The arghūl is primarily an Egyptian instrument, having a melody pipe with five to seven holes and a longer drone pipe without holes.

The slow, haunting melody of "Amazing Grace" floated from the chanter and hummed from the drone pipes into the candlelit silence.

In one specimen the melody and drone pipes are about 80 and 240 centimetres long, respectively, though the drone has removable sections to alter its pitch.

Bagpipes (like the Great Highland Bagpipe and the Zampogna) feature a number of drone pipes, giving the instruments their characteristic sounds.

On one side of the bag is a pipe with fingerholes, on the other side are one or two drone pipes without fingerholes, which play at a single tone.

It is held vertically and has three bamboo pipes which pass through a gourd wind chest; the center pipe has finger holes and the outer two are typically drone pipes.

The two drone pipes, which have single reeds and are typically a fifth apart, are in the same stock and face directly up or slightly forward, depending on the individual position of the piper.

He tucked the bag under his arm, adjusted the three drone pipes over his shoulder, and put his fingers on the eight-holed chanter, and then put his mouth to the blowpipe.

(An air on the drone-pipes is heard, and Montfleury enters, enormously stout, in an Arcadian shepherd's dress, a hat wreathed with roses drooping over one ear, blowing into a ribboned drone pipe.)

The smells of wood and oil and resin rose in the air, accompanied by the sounds of chisels and files and the occasional sound of an instrument: a whistle, a drone pipe, a harp, or a fiol being played or tuned.

The principle involved is like that of a bagpipe with its continuous drone pipe; enough air to fill the "bag," usually the cheeks for instrumentalists, is taken in through the nose, sealed off and stored for use as needed, usually while another breath is being taken in through the nose.
