Stuck Bagpipe Drones - simple solution

[SchorschiSchrumpf]

Hey there,

we all know the issue of bag pipe drones that sometimes get stuck and go on forever. I found a quick and dirty solution for that: intentional overloading of the music system.

It can be easily done using the following ABC played on a lute, harp, theorbo or travellers trusty fiddle. It is just the quickest possible sequence of 6 tone chords played at minimum volume level to not totally annoy everyone around. Just play this between the songs on a concert and you will clean out all the stuck bagpipe drones your audience might have.

This overloading-abc was used last evening at our concert on Gwaihir when some, or all, got the sustained bagpipes note.
I can hereby confirm, that it seems to work as intended.

A shame that we have to use work-arounds though. Now, if only we could rid of the server-side lag... but that's another story. Or is it?
