Drones (MP3)

This is a collection of drones, each of which is about 2 minutes in length. An organ sound rich in overtones is used to help with tuning. These are not pure tones, so you will here some pulsing as the overtones move in and out of phase. This more closely simulates a true playing condition than pure tones. (Created by T. Ewell)
