As a thick person, does this have anything to do with Bordon as in organ stop etc?

This may be historically true, but in practice in modern usage it means both. C "Die Bordune können mit den mitgelieferten Stöpseln abgestellt werden." the drones (nominative) can be switched off with the stoppers supplied. "Hümmelchen ... mit zwei Bordunen" . With two drones (dative after "mit"). >From http://www.bagpipe.de/query.php?cp_tpl=main&cp_sid=182565295b45 chirs To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
