Tárogató makers

During the 2nd World War the Schunda and Stowasser factories with the highest reputation were completely unnihilated. After 1945 hardly any new instruments were made.

Currently new tárogató-s are made by five individuals/ companies in Hungary, and there are two mouthpiece maker experts.
