Whether you go Dah Gah, or Tah Kah, make sure you use a very forward position of the tongue. If you do the gah or kah part with the back end of your tongue it doesn’t work. And when your tongue touches the reed, make sure you are barely touching the reed and not pushing the reed all the way to the tip of the mouthpiece. You stop the vibrations by placing the tongue on the reed, not closing the tip opening with tongue pressure. Again, if you do this, getting the gah or kah part to speak will be difficult, if not impossible. Make sure the air speed is fast and consistent, and you’ll get it. I also tongue slowly and have really refined my double tonguing as is necessary.
