A drone is sustained, unchanging, note. The most likely place we hear a drone is on the bagpipes which have two or three drone pies as well as a chanter to play melodies. The drone is also heard in most Asian music, particularly in Indian music, where the drone is achieved sometimes by the addition of sympathetic strings to a string instrument; these strings are sounded by vibrating in tune with notes played on the main strings.
