Refers to two distinct instruments, the newer of which was intended to be a recreation
of the older, although they are essentially completely different instruments. The
early Tárogató is a Hungarian instrument of Turkish origin, a type of shawm, with
a double reed, conical bore, and no keys. It was commonly played as a signaling instrument
in battle. The modern Tárogató was invented by Vencel József Schunda, a Hungarian
instrument maker. It is a single-reed, conical-bore, keyed woodwind and it is commonly
used in Hungarian and Romanian folk music.
