Tárogató
The tárogató (plural tárogatók or, anglicized, tárogatós; Romanian: taragot) refers to two different woodwind instruments, both of them Hungarian. The tárogató has a Persian origin, and it appeared in Hungary during the turkish wars. Up to about the 18th century, the tárogató was a type of shawm, with a double reedconical bore, and no keys. This instrument is documented as far back as the 15th century. Because the tárogató was an iconic instrument of the Rákóczi's War for Independence (1703-1711), its use was suppressed in the 18th century by the Habsburg monarchy.
