I think this is the key......you tongue the the tip of the reed, just
fruther up on the tongue. Would I be correct in stating then that the tip
of your tongue is further down the reed when you say it is the reed that
is futher up on the tongue? We are saying, basically the same thing.
Semantics aside, you do not tongue tip to tip all the time - at least
that is what it says above - right?
