Enthalpy Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) Hello you all! The present-day tárogató is a not-so-common woodwind with simple reed and conical bore like a saxophone, but with smaller tone holes, fingerings similar to an Oehler clarinet, body made of wood up to now, usually in C, played with clarinet mouthpiece and reed. Estimated 200 copies exist worldwide, mostly in Hungary and Romania. A record of a nicely played one, together with a hammered dulcimer: The tenor tárogató is truly rare - maybe one or two dozens worldwide. The ones I've seen use tenor saxophone reed, mouthpiece and neck, which make them sound more like a sax. Records: (begins at 12 min)and there too Edited May 1, 2017 by Enthalpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enthalpy Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Original Tárogató music, neither folklore nor lengthy sheet with the superfluous reverberation:http://www.paschart.ch/music/instruments/tarogatos.html the two other instruments could be tenor tarotatok.
