DroneTone Concertmaster 2.2.0

Drone Tone Tool is an application developed by professional musicians and music educators to offer high-quality reference pitches imbued with the exquisite overtones of an authentic cello. Musicians of all skill levels are encouraged to explore the advantages of practicing with reference tones.

Why opt for real cello drones?

• While there are numerous electronic tone generators available, they often lack the complexity of overtones found in real instruments, resulting in a less pleasant listening experience. Our cello drones, on the other hand, boast a harmonious sound, rich overtones, and multi-layered octaves to support practice across all ranges.

Purpose and benefits of reference/drone tones:

• A reference (or drone) tone acts as a stable harmonic center. It enhances our ability to perceive the interactions between multiple pitches, reinforcing our internal pitch sense. By aligning a movable pitch (produced by an instrument or voice) with a fixed pitch (drone tone), we develop a heightened awareness of consonant perfect intervals and nuances within Major/Minor intervals. This refined sense of relative pitch contributes to artistic expression through precise intonation.
