There are several posts about tonguing. I agree with Paul in that it is logical that everyone has there own upper speed limit. In H.S. my tonguing was the usual sub-par. In my freshman college year Russianoff gave me an excercise that I probably have posted here before. Start low C. Go CCCDEEEFG-- hold the G if you like. Speed up. There is a section on it in my book. I can say that within maybe a month tonguing became my strongest point. The other guys in the college orchestra left the fast tonguing stuff for me (we had a rotating section). I THINK at age 67 my tongue has MAYBE slowed a tiny bit. I never really gave double tonguing a legitimate try. Or circular breathing for that matter.
