Subj: RE: [kl] double tongue
Date: Sat, 10 Jul 2004 08:26:55 -0400

I use the ta-ka sound to double tongue, one note with the ta sound, tongue
going forward, one with the ka sound, tongue going back to the original
position. To triple tongue I use ta-da-ka though I don't really know how
the tongue moves- it just seems to work so I go with it. I have in the past
had a bit of sucess with ta-da-ka-da in really fast sections. Hope that
helps ya!
