It's a completely different instrument, just like a saxophone is not a saxaphone is not a saxiphone. :tongue:Hi,
I read this board name and wondered about. AFAIK the tarogato (Tárogató) was named a taragot too, but not taragato.
Is this a special name of this instrument or a third version?
That'd be way cool. And mea culpa for not deciding what spelling I should use. I'll just quit writing about them, that will solve the problem.In Musikmesse there was a maker, I think from Romania, who had tárogatós in both saxophone key system and clarinet key system. I'll try to find a photo I think I have one.
How about saxofoon? My personal fav is saxamaphone.It's a completely different instrument, just like a saxophone is not a saxaphone is not a saxiphone. :tongue:

Here are the tárogatós. They all overblow an octave so it's just the keys that are different.

Excellent. Try to get web site URLs for manufacturers and artists too.BTW, I'm hoping to attend the World Tárogató Congress in June/July so I'll hopefully see the latest developments in the tárogató world

If I do make it, I'll post a bit of a report here.
You mean changing the name of this forum to "Tárogató"? That was me.Thanks Gandalfe for the change!
Now I patiently wait for the appearance of a native Maltese instrument, the Għaġo.At some point, we lost the ability to use letters with diacritical marks (like "á").
