==Double chanter== Another variant of the chanter is the two-piped chanter (often called a double chanter). The chanter pipes may be designed to be played separately, one with each hand, or the two chanters may be played in [[unison]] (as in most Arabic bagpipes). One chanter may provide a [[drone (music)|drone]] accompaniment to the other, or the two chanters may play in a [[harmony]] of [[major third|third]]s and [[major sixth|sixth]]s (as in the northern Italian [[Mรผsa]] and central-southern Italian ''[[zampogna]]''). In pipes of the [[Carpathian basin]] up to five separate chanter bores may be placed in parallel within a single chanter assembly, providing both melodic and rhythmic possibilities: in the simplest case, one pipe is used to play the melody while the second provides a variable drone, while more complex pipes may separate certain individual notes into separate, stopped pipes.
