Uilleann Small Drone Tuning

This sound sample shows the small drone's D being tuned against
the A of the chanter. I chose this as a beginner's example because
it is easy to play and tune continuously, covering the chanter holes
with the bag hand and tuning the drone with the bellows hand. 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.

An experienced player will accept such tuning only as a starting
point. S/He will play and test other notes against the drone to decide
on refinements of the initial setting.
