Well, regardless of what others say, I really meant single tongue!! At
least, I usually think I know what I mean......I think.

My understanding is that someone posted (Can't remember now) that they
could side-to-side tongue 16ths at quarter @-----.that's what I am
jealous of. I don't believe it is possible to double or single tonue
16ths at quarter @-----.hope I spelled that
correctly.
