TarogatoThe Tarogato refers to two different musical instruments, both of them Hungarian. Up to about the 18th Century, the tarogato was a type of shawm, with a double reed. This instrument died out was not made after the 19th Century. In 1890, a new instrument was invented, which is also called the tarogato. It is uses a single reed, like in a clarinet or saxophone. It is made out of wood and has a conical bore, similar to a saxophone. The instrument is made of black grenadilla wood like a clarinet or lesser woods (in Hungary and Romania) and has a mournful sound similar to a cross between an english horn and a soprano saxophone.
