Hey everyone
Just wondering what syllables everyone uses when thinking of double tonguing
I tried diddle tonguing (quantz) and found it the easiest to achieve, but can find no mention anywhere online for anything other than tiki articulation.
Just curious what everyone else does
:)

Double Tongueing Te Ka Te ka Te ka Te ka Te Ka
Triple Tongueing Te Ka Ta Te Ka Ta Te Ka Ta Te Ka Ta
Well that's how I do it anyway and it sounds good .
Doesn't work much or at all on the Clarinet's single reed though.

There are several ways of using sylables when double tonguing. It depends upon the kind of result desired. Te Ke is a general purpose way, Thu Ghu sometimes speeds up the tonguing, Duh Guh may give a legato result, and Tic Kit can give a staccato sound. For triple tonguing, one can use the same sylables, with Te Ke Te Ke Te Ke for two triples. Te Te Ke was used by brass players for triple tonguing but I don't know what they teach now for brass triple tonguing. Double tonguing is a valuable skill for all woodwind players and can save your bacon.

Hi
What's triple tongueing? Or more to the point how is the tongue moving.
I know the way I double tongue. Tongue to reed then back of the tongue to the back of the mouth.
But how do you get the extra to make it a triple?
Thanks
Nicholas

Some also do tkt ktk tkt ktk (flutes in particular use this) because they find it easier. Me, ttk ttk works better.
As for syllable, whatever vowel sound you are using to get the best tone on the note(s) you are playing, is what you should be using for your multiple tonguing.

For those of us with large oral cavities (okay, okay - big mouths) double-tonguing is extremely hard to achieve. I only hit it correctly some 70% of the time, and low notes are much harder than the upper octaves.
I find that bringing the tongue closer to the roof of your mouth and constricting your oral cavities (even the throat) helps with double-tonguing. does it kill my tone? Yes - but I'm double-tonguing, so who can tell!
While I'm glad it works for Beatrice, my experience is that without doing all of the above it just sounds like a throaty bubble.
