As once quoted by Ken Shaw:

Quote:

"Anchor tonguing" means that you tuck the tip of your tongue down behind your lower teeth, so that it serves as a fulcrum. You should definitely avoid this (even though a few major players, such as Leister and Lurie, use it successfully). The problem is that your entire tongue has to move, which is clumsy, slow and inefficient."


I believe that Robert Marcellus went as far as calling it "a disease" ...GBK

Prinz had no problem with it, however, for the average clarinetist I advise strongly against....unless you are a genius at it already!
