Its pretty easy actually. Ive done one myself. Sugar cain did this a while ago.
He just decided to bring it back for some rreason.

The key i used was a bit high tho. I used a C. I might do another in G n see how it goes.

James Conway has a pipe tuning that has a drone note on both inhale and exhale.

Several years ago Scottish moothie wizard Donald Black persuaded Hohner to come out with a pipe tuning, but not with a drone. He plays double-sided Echo tremolos, and on the A side the G# is tuned down to G, for a Mixolydian scale in first position (and a G major chord on the draw). The resulting harp was called the Highlander. Hohner never marketed it to pipers as Donald intended, and it's no longer made.

I had Seydel build a slide bagpipe harp, if I had time I would learn to play it better, since I don't I'm going to offer it to Jim Conway at SPAH--
Here is the tuning.
D A A D F# A D F# A D F# A
C G G C E G C E G C E G
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
D G B D F# A B D F# A C D
D A C E G B C E G B D F#


Doesn't quite line up, hey I tried.

Thanks!
So the bottom is drone, no thirds, and the rest of the harp is just.
