		The rejection of biological essentialism that was, perhaps, necessary in earlier stages of feminist and anti-racist politics, she argues, obscured important differences among members of racial, gender, ethnic, or other oppressed groups, and the way in which their oppression took shape around the characteristics of diverse human bodies.
		Chanter argues that what this “beyond” might mean opens the question of how ethics is related to ontology because “a thorough investigation of this relationship reveals precisely the import of corporeality in Levinas’s philosophy ” (39), which she links to sexual difference.
		Chanter is quite right that “Heidegger failed to pose the question of bodily significance” (12) and lacks “a serious and sustained consideration of others” (96).

	Practice Chanters at The Harp and Dragon
		The standard practice chanter's blowpipe and chanter pieces are somewhat shorter than those on a full-size set of bagpipes, and the distance between the holes is very slightly less; however, this is a convenient size to manage, and the standard practice chanter is the one traditionally played by the majority of people.
		The long practice chanter's chanter piece is the same size as this piece on a full-size set of bagpipes, and the hole spacings are the same as well; a long chanter is 21-23 inches long overall, depending on the brand.
		Chanters that do not have a sole are described as having a button sole, which is really just a bulge of the wood or plastic of which the chanter is made.

	Andrew Lenz's Bagpipe Tips: Modifying Bagpipe Chanter Reeds
		Customizing chanter reeds for sound can be a bit of a mystical art, sometimes shrouded in secrecy.
		An alternative to modifying the reed is to tape the top of the chanter hole to flatten the note that is too sharp.
		An inconsistent F is known as a "collapsing F" or as a "double-toning F." The note varies wildly with small changes in pressure.

		The chanter is gripped in the vice with the datum face at the front and the vertical slide is adjusted so that the centre of the chanter is at the centre height of the lathe.
		The chanter moved towards the headstock using the saddle of the lathe until the drill reaches the centre of the bore in the chanter.

	Chanter tuning data (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Small snippets of each performance, each containing a single chanter note (typically 100 or 200 ms long), were analyzed.
		The ratio of the chanter frequency to the drone frequency was used to establish the observed frequency ratio for each note of the scale.
		The names of the chanter notes are identified at the left, while on the right, tick marks occur every 100 cents corresponding to the division of the octave into 12 equally tempered semitones.

	Ross Bates Reeds - Tuning (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The problem with the pipe chanter is that when the temperature changes, the tuning of the chanter will also change, and not always evenly throughout the scale.
		Once your chanter is tuned however, you may find that at a later date, in a different environment, a slight alteration to your Low G, Low A, and maybe B, is all that will be required to correct your scale relative to the drones.
		You will hear the relationship between the drone and chanter alter as the D becomes flat or sharp relative to the drone, or, as the drone becomes flat or sharp relative to the D - it depends on your point of view.

	Third chanter options (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The Volksgurdy's standard configuration is that of the typical French instrument, with 2 chanters (melody strings) and 4 drone strings.
		The third chanter string gives the player the option of enhancing the sound of the standard tuning, or of playing in two different tunings.
		For example, in G/C tuning, the third chanter could be tuned to a low g to give the octave sound without losing the "punch" of the unison chanters.

	Chanters
		This instrument, which consists of a bellow, a shuttle-drone, a single chanter and a leather bag which is not covered by any material, is treated separately from other normal bagpipes in Praetorius's book.
		Mersenne's chanter is obviously not close-ended chanter but it is an open-ended chanter, which became the most common design for the musette's chanter through the 17th and the 18th centuries.
		Because there is another picture of the instrument at the beginning of the main part of his method (which is used for explaining about the parts of the instrument), which also shows a pear-shaped petit-chalumeau.

		There's not a lot of space for the reed in the bore of the reed-cap and, obvious as it may be, one must be cautious not to "stub" the lips of the reed against the bottom edge of the cap.
		When playing the practice chanter, after a time condensed moisture from your breath will collect within and around the reed and it may be necessary to remove the reed-cap/blowpipe to get rid of it.
		If it is necessary to transport the chanter disassembled, for example to fit it into a briefcase, remove the reed and place it into the reed-cap, followed by a wad of paper to keep it from falling out.

	Getting Started On Uilleann Pipes
		That's right, the chanter is not like most modern band instruments that are heavily engineered so there is hardly any finger stretch and you use the first finger pad of the fingers that you use.
		Pipe chanters are different, their holes are where they are really supposed to be with no extra, cams, rods or connectors to secondary exhaust vents.
		You can figure this all out with a real chanter from a practice, half or full set in your hand but wouldn't it be prudent to see if this fingering becomes comfortable for you and you can happily play six different tunes, on a practice chanter of some type.

		Some makes of chanter can be more prone to producing a choke than others and so require more controlled, steady pressure.
		We realize that this is not the last word in pipe chanters and reeds but it is a good place for beginners and less experienced players to start.
		It is advisable to take the chanter out immediately after playing, check it for moisture, leave it out for a couple of minutes if need be, dry the chanter stock and then replace the chanter in the pipes.

	How to purchase a quality bagpipe practice chanter : Kevin Auld - bagpiper, Seattle WA
		Most quality practice chanters these days have finger holes that are 'countersunk' or recessed, and placed in such a way as to closely resemble the hole spacing of a bagpipe chanter.
		The one farthest to the left is an older practice chanter made in the 1960s, the one to the far right is a modern practice chanter with recessed holes and accurate finger spacing.
		Countless times I have switched chanters with a student and watched their eyes go wide with amazement at how easy and enjoyable my practice chanter is to play compared to theirs.

		What I have done is to take the bore diameters for one of the Quinn chanters detailed by David (http://www-bprc.mps.ohio-state.edu/~bdaye/makepipe/upquinn.html) and find a straight line which is always the same value or less than the Quinn bore.
		Tuning the chanter to work well is a process of either enlarging the fingerholes or altering the bore as circumstances require.
		The outside of the chanter need not be symmetrical, except at the reed end where it is shaped to fit into a chanter stock or windcap.

	Andrew Lenz's Bagpipe Tips: Bagpipe Chanter Reed Basics
		Consequently, most pipers remove their chanters from the bag and use a "reed cap" (sometimes called a "chanter cap" or "dry stock") to protect the reed while it is seated in the chanter.
		If you do regularly leave your chanter in its stock, it's a good idea to periodically remove it to make sure it isn't swelling and running the risk of getting stuck in the stock.
		In short: "In/up, out/down." Lowering the chanter reed into the chanter shortens the distance between it and the holes in the chanter and raises the pitch.

		While testing the chanter these last 2 pieces of tubing can be given a 1-layer wrap of teflon tape so that they will hold place and remain airtight, until permanent locations are set at which time they may be glued into place.
		than the chanter cap is cut to a length of 1" to 2" and carefully drilled on-center with a hole of inner diameter equal to the outer diameter of the top of the chanter.
		This should be temporarily installed over the head of the chanter and wrapped with hemp and/or teflon tape so that it fits sungly and airtight into the cap, for testing finger holes and fine tuning in the bag without having to mouth-blow the reed.

	Electronic Chanters
		In many ways, the electronic chanter is a lot easier to play than the conventional practice chanter—and a lot easier on the ears.
		Avoiding crossing noises is certainly important; however, the accuracy gained using the electronic chanter is not exactly transferable to covering the holes in a true bagpipe chanter.
		The important thing is that the "hole" spacing on the electronic chanter is the same as that on a bagpipe chanter.

		Melodies (with their extensive grace notes) are easier to learn on a practice chanter.
		The keynote of the chanter is A, but the scale is not quite diatonic.
		The third note of the scale sounds just below C# while the fourth is just above D. This pattern holds for the F# and G. The practice chanter is played in the mouth like an oboe, but it includes an aircap so the reed is not inserted into the mouth.
