 Hello David & Ralph, 
 
Some taragot recordings I've heard from Romania can almost sound like a buzzy trumpet mixed in with the sax/oboe/clarinet timbre usually heard. 
 
Sadly, I have no idea who (which region, etc.) plays this style, nor how they do it. 
 
I can tell you that I've heard at least as many tone qualities in taragot playing as I've heard in classical clarinet playing.  That's saying a lot because I've only heard maybe 5-6 different taragot players (all on record), and I've heard many many more classical players!
