Tell us something.: I am mostly a saxophone/flute player, playing mostly jazz and latin music. However, I do play in an Irish Rock band, playing a Terry McGee wooden flute, tin whistle, piano style accordion, keyboard, sax, etc.

I heard Charles Lloyd play the taragota. What a great sounding instrument.

Does anyone have any experience finding, buying, and learning to play the taragota?

Greetings:

As of 21 DEC 2016 there is a tarogato for sale at Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nice-old-Taroga ... SwcUBYRYn-

They do show up there with some frequency. I've never played one and can't comment on whether the above is a good instrument or a $700 wall hanger.
