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. One of the chambers has finger holes and plays like a normal Native American flute and plays the melody while the other chamber doesn't have finger holes and therefore only plays one note or "drones". This second chamber is usually tuned to the bottom note of the flute. Not unlike a Bagpipe.

Hi, I found your blog randomly through a google search (because I had been looking for your CDs). Must say, I am very much impressed with your music and listen to it almost daily. Thanks! :)
