Actually either no drones at all, or at most a single bass drone up on the shoulder as on the carvings of Cornish pipes.

That's fantastic. What a tremendous idea. You are the Jimmy Page of the Pipes... I mean that very nicely!

I actually don't know who that is... I guess I'm out of the loop.

Anyhow here's more:

Now on the following you'll hear a quite out-of-tune interval, the "narrow" 5th between the bagpipe's B and F#. It's because of the Just Intonation of the pipes, the B being 4 cents sharp and the F# being 16 cents flat, in order to match the drones. All is well on the pipes until this particular interval is played.

I think you're really on to something there. I love it!

I couldn't name any guitarist of any pop or rock group that ever existed except the Beatles I suppose. But Albert Nicholas or Pete Fountain, I'm all over that.

Of course the reference being I suppose that he played a guitar with two necks.

Boes he play both necks at the same time? That would be cool.

The jazz equivalent is Roland Kirk. Look him up on YouTube. He played three saxophones at the same time. Awsome.
