I'm newly obsessed with this song (Lord Gregory) and plan to do it soon...interesting tuning you use...I've been using DAD but still get a drone sound a bit...I'll have to try your tuning as well. In any case it's a nice tune to showcase a drone-y sound. Of late I've been listening to a version by Danu.

Thanks all.
Annie - the tuning is A bagpipe, (A'AA)
Start from DAA and drop the bass string down to an octave below the other two. (may be a bit slack, depending on your strings).
I use this a lot for mixalydian tunes.
Wow,I like that low drone too! What tuning,please? Ta.
John, well done. That low drone really anchors the melody.
Very nice John, I always enjoy listening to you play.
