Two Tunable Drone Flutes
On my recording New Fire there is a song called "Cactus Dance". This was recorded using a High Spirits tunable drone flute. A drone flute is basically two flute chambers built into one fllute body.

This second chamber is usually tuned to the bottom note of the flute. Not unlike a Bagpipe.
