Re: Anchor tonguing? really the wrong way to go?

I have anchor tongued for 47 plus years and say "tah" in addition to other sylables easily. My tongue is lightly anchored below the lip, and at times is on the lip. I can of course tongue easily in a conventional tip to tip manner also. Out of choice, I prefer a shallow anchor tongue for playing bass clarinet particularly. It allows more room for the air to addres the reed without impedence from the tongue stroke. I can tongue quickly , play the Mendelsson Scherzo at 88 and have really had no serious professional tonguing problems over my career. I do teach tip to tip tonguing to my students, but also allow differences in tonguing style. My teacher,Stanley Hasty, strongly preferred tip to tip articulation and he and I worked hard when I was a student at Eastman to do tip to tip tonguing. One day, I was tonguing with a shallow anchor and asked him if it was clean and to his likeing and he sad yes. Somehow, it works for me!
