Rowuk: Thanks for the reply. I have been working through Arban's double and triple tonguing exercises on a daily basis. Yesterday I went through the material an additional time using the "dorsal" tonguing technique as I understand it.

It's different, but not all that different . . . something I find I can do, though the articulation is not as good. So given that experimentation and what you've said here, I guess I'll develop that if/when I need it. It's just that the way it was mentioned in the Gordon book it sounded like "this is how you tongue."

My next purchase is Clarke's technical studies, so that will be added soon as well.

Thanks again.
