One who chants or sings; also the part of a bagpipe with finger holes that plays the melody.
From chant + -er (agent suffix). Chant comes from Latin cantare (to sing).
In bagpipe terminology, the chanter is the melodic voice of the instrument—the part that actually plays tunes—while the drones provide the drone notes, so essentially the chanter does the singing work.
