Re: Like a tarogato but more buzzy?

hello

Here is what I know about the different uses of tarogato
Romanian tarogato player use in general a configuration that makes their tarogato have a very big sound.
They use soprano sax reed, soft in general, and I have seen once that their mouthpiece is a bit modified. It is medium to large tip opening, They reduce the chamber size buy adding a piece of wood that makes the air going faster in the moutpiece. The result can sound almost like a "bombarde" (double reed instrument for celtic music, sorry I dont know the name in english!)

Maybe you heard this kind of tarogato playing.

In hungary, they use in general smaller mouthpiece with clarinet reeds (german cut), and very closed mouthpiece. They have a completly different sound, much more sweeter and round, more specific (That's my opinion!)

Hope this could help
