Well in full disclosure I started orchestral excepts post anchor tonguing.
In HS, I use to walk down the hall 'tonguing' sixteenth notes with tip of my tongue to the roof of my mouth (mouth closed). I had brass players keep telling me, "Your tongue is a muscle, exercise it!" Over a course of months my speed was fast enough for anything I'd see in HS.
I was always subscribed to Hadcock's theory of 'just throw a slur in it' in crazy tongued stuff. Few will ever know the difference. (not applicable to excerpts)
But in full ensemble stuff, no one has ever said a word to me.
As for double tonguing, I should start working on it. I know how, just never bothered trying. Hummmm...
