As far as removing the tongue from the reed it should be noted that the tongue obviously has to come forward sometime or there would never be a second removal of the tongue. Do people think that there is a double stroke going on here? ie every tongued note has two parts 1. forward motion 2. attack It's sort of like a conductors baton technique. It is possible to hammer the ictus or just lift off that point. Both have their place but the "hammer" is not the norm. I'm still liking the way Michel Gingras approaches this with a rebound action.....like a drumstick would repeat itself without any aid. The alternative is a laboured tonguing...too much work.
