You could optimise the reed for each note. Fit them all in a box fed by a compressor and you might be getting somewhere... John Or have an entire orchestra, each member with a one-note chanter. Kind of like the bell-ringers that that are defrosted and put out to public each Christmas Best wishes.

They gave concerts to the master's guests. I wonder if the decline in the Russian aristocracy led to a decline in the number of serfs available, leaving only a couple to play along. Thus the invention of drones... Best wishes. S.O.B. To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
