Uilleann Pipe Middle and Big Drone Tuning

This sound sample shows the middle and big drones' Ds being tuned against
the D of the small drone. I chose this as a beginner's example because
it is easiest for me to hear the tuning change when the small drone is
used as a reference. Other players may have different preferences.

Notice the ringing or vibrating nature of the sound at first. As
the small drone is brought into tune, the vibration slows to a pulsing
or "wa-wa" sort of tone. When the tuning is exact, this vibration
stops entirely and all sensation of movement ceases.

It is easier to tune drones to one another than to the chanter because
the main pitches are lower, the musical notes are the same, the tones
are more similar, and the vibration effect of mis-tuning is more prominent.
Also, since each drone only plays one note, the drones can be set
exactly in tune with one another. There is no compromising to learn.
