Re: Mysterious Tonguing Techniques

Regarding the "inverted mouthpiece" method:

A bit of a search found a thread about this from a couple of years ago, where it was mentioned that this was a relatively common practice for Italian players well into the twentieth century (Gino Cioffi of the Boston Symphony apparently preferred to play this way). I didn't notice any specifics on tonguing pracices, though.

I tried that method about a year ago just for kicks, and I'm pretty sure I was able to execute some kind of contact-based tonguing, although I don't remember exactly how it worked. (By the way--I'd definitely recommend trying this out, it's a very interesting experience.)
