Hi there,
my prof wants to use me as a guinea pig this semester for double and (eventually) triple tonguing. He asked me if i could find the robert spring articles online, and i was just wondering if anyone could upload them, if they had them floating around at easy access.
Also, for anyone out there who has already learned how to double tongue, are there any tips you would offer? Thanks!!

"triple tonguing..... robert spring"
From what Robert Spring told us in a master class, he doesn't use triple tonguing. When it is triplets he just uses double tonguing. He also told us a nice story about one of his students who is a great player only her staccato is very bad. It was bad enough that she was ready to give up on even trying anymore. He said she only practice double tonguing and stop practice single tonguing. She tried that and after a while she had a good double tongue and good single tongue. I also had bad tonguing so I decided to give this a try, and started practicing double tongue. At first it was very bad but slowly it improved until my double tonguing was good. So he had something with his improvised idea.

The Selmer CP100 mpc has only a moderately open and gradual facing of 1.22mm, yet I can use a Vandoren 1 1/2 reed. It works the best for my tonguing, I dare anybody. Maybe it is better to use a soft reed to do rapid tonguing? The cavity inside the chamber (the duckbill) is really very large, so a soft reed will not fail or close up on the player. That is my theory. Now if I could only go up as high in the altissimo range as Spring. Or is not there a necessary trade-off? What does he use.

You could email Dr. Spring at ASU and ask him for copies of it, if he has them. Just a thought.
He's a great guy. Does what he can.

The Spring article, as far as I know, did not appear online. The only Online Clarinet Resource article by him was about his warmup regimen.
The ICA's Clarinet Magazine index shows it at Vol. XVII/1, pp. 44-49, Multiple Articulation for Clarinet. You can order that through the ICA site, http://www.clarinet.org/.
Arthur Weisberg's book The Art of Wind Playing (which I worked on, by the way) has a good description of his double tonguing method, which was the basic brass/flute TI-KI-TI-KI action. It's out of print, unfortunately, and goes for high prices http://used.addall.com/SuperRare/RefineRare.fcgi?start=0&id=070228080446078439&dispCurr=USD&inTitle=art+of+wind+playing&inAuthor=weisberg%2C+arthur&inDesc=&exTitle=&exAuthor=&exDesc=&match=Y&&order=PRICE&ordering=ASC
However, he at least used to offer it himself. It would be worth asking. http://newsinfo.iu.edu/sb/page/normal/971.html.

Dr. Spring handed out the article during a master class which included exercises + info etc...
I'll see if I can find it and upload it.

Not without complete permission of Dr. Spring (whom I am sure will grant it, but ...). Handing it out at a master class is NOT the same thing as granting reprint/republishing rights to the recipients.
