Taragot - Wikipedia NL Een taragot of tárogató is een houten enkel-riet blaasinstrument dat op het eerste gezicht het uiterlijk heeft van een klarinet (en doorgaans van hout is) maar qua klank veel meer een sopraansaxofoon weg heeft. Evenals de saxofoon heeft de taragot een konische boring in tegenstelling tot de klarinet die een cilindrische boring heeft. Dit heeft tot gevolg dat de taragot en saxofoon overblazen naar het octaaf, terwijl klarinet overblaast naar het duodecime (octaaf+kwint) nl.wikipedia.org /wiki/Taragot   (126 words)

Romanian music - Taragot The taragot was invented by the instrument maker J. Schunda, working in Budapest, with advice from the Hungarian composer Gyula Kaldy, and was used in the premier of Wagner's "Trestan and Isolde" in 1865. Much like the earlier Saxophone, the Taragot has a conical tube similar to the oboe, and the single reed mouthpiece of the clarinet. The taragot should not be confused with the older Hungarian "taragoto" which is a double reed shawm similar to the folk shawms found throughout Europe and the Middle East. www.eliznik.org.uk /RomaniaMusic/taragot.htm   (220 words)
