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 reed
,
conical 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
.
