After a long hiatus from playing professionally, I had a sudden meeting with a certain tárogató. This changed everything. 
One day, a Hungarian cellist friend from Kelowna rung me up and asked if I would head up to the Okanagan to perform a concert for the Okanagan Hungarian Society. To facilitate this happening, he shipped me his prized Stowasser tárogató, a German-made instrument considered the king of tárogotós. I was smitten. 
What followed was a round-the-world search for a tárogató to call my own. I called my favourite clarinet maker in Chile, Luis Rossi, who said he didn’t make tárogatós and suggested I try a maker (and former repairman of mine) in Toronto. Steve of Toronto said he couldn’t retool his clarinet shop to make me a tárogató, but he did suggest I contact Tóth & Tarsa of Budapest. Of course. Why didn’t I think of that first? Budapest!”
So, now I play a custom Albert-system cocobolo tárogató made by Toth & Tarsa of Budapest, Hungary, a replica Stowasser mouthpiece by Pillinger Mouthpieces of Middlesex, UK, a Kodama II ligature by Ishimori Wind Instruments of Tokyo, Japan, and Légère Signature synthetic reeds formulated by Guy Légère of Montréal, Canada.
