who cares?Only romanians use it today, and in the past hungarians only used it as a war horn.
But are you mad? :)

You wat
It is still around to this day, I don't know where you got that from.

>. It is certain, however, that instruments of this type, descended from the Middle Eastern zurna, were introduced into Eastern Europe by the Turks in the Middle Ages, as evidenced by the term töröksip—"Turkish pipe"—which was used as a synonym for tárogató.
I just knew I recognized the sound from Bosnian traditional music. The music itself sounds Turkish in most parts, you must admit.
It's just a Turkish clarinet, basically, and the clarinet is popular in the whole of East-Central Europe, including my own country.

Who is that picture supposed to represent? You mean to tell me that Ardeal is in the same league as Oltenia and Moldova? Not a fucking chance.

>Manufacturing in Hungary ceased after World War II, though tárogatós continued to be made in Romania and other countries. In the 1990s several Hungarian makers started producing the instrument again
Over 90% of instruments today are made in Romania.Hell, the first thing hungarians did with it was use it in battles, while romanians use it in songs :)
The taragot sounds way better in romanian folkore.
the sound is 10/10

Yeah, to my naïve ears it can sound like anything from the flute to the saxophone, depending on the pitch.
The name seemingly either comes from the Hungarian word for Turk, or from the Slavic word rog, rogat - horn, horned.

>The name seemingly either comes from the Hungarian word for Turk,
Allthough in european countries the name comes from hungarian, the hungarian term no way it comes from torok

Ehh, it's used in a shitton of songs here too, it was a symbolic instrument of the anti-Habsburg 'kuruc' movement, who used it in their songs and dances.
And where it sounds better is quite subjective, as our folk music have a bit different styles to them.
The name 'töröksíp' does come from the word for Turk, it means 'Turkish pipe', but the word 'tárogató' does not come from either one. It comes from the Hungarian word 'tár', which means 'open up', '-ogat' is a suffix in Hungarian, which slightly alters the meaning of words. It refers to the motion when the player lifts up his finger from the holes on the body of the instrument, thus opening it up.

>Ehh, it's used in a shitton of songs here too,
yet, no one knows of hungarians using it :)
This is why on youtube "tárogató" videos have a total of just 300k views.
