Subj: [kl] Professor Wheeler's fluttertongue
Date: Sun, 10 Jun 2001 13:17:06 -0400

Is there anyone here who finds no problem with playing fluttertongue in
the high register?

The reason I ask is that I have always had a difficulty with this, and
quite a few other players of my acquaintance have the same problem. The
recent discussion of Wheeler's discovery of the correlation between the
position of the back of the tongue and the register being played made me
wonder whether the difficulty arises when the flutter can't be combined
with a sufficiently low position of the back of the tongue.

It would be interesting to know whether those who have no trouble have a
particular tongue/mouth configuration. (My guess is that they'd have a
relatively large boccal cavity, perhaps coupled with a shortish tongue.)

Anyone?
