Gaitero (m)

(with) definite article: el

any person who plays some kind of bagpipe (&c.)

Identical types: 127

According to the authors of my source, in Aragón a generic term for folk musicians (including pipers); NB: Probably, Blecua Vitales & Mir Tierz intended to convey that the term is also used for a group of musicians that include at least 1 piper, because I doubt that it would even be used for any musician, or group (regardless of the instruments they play); NB: ➺ homonyms.
