>>At the risk of being even more heretical, I will saying that tonguing at the left corner of the reed, rather than the right, works better for some people.<<

I was wondering about that.

Are you left-handed? Left-tongued?

I tried it this afternoon, on the right corner. It is amazing. Clean, clean, clean. An answer to prayer.

There is some quality difference in the tone, but I don't know yet if it is good or bad. We in Ohio are going through this monsoon thing right now, and all of my reeds -- even the ones that I know are easy -- seem hard.

One of the respondents on the IDRS board implied that Mr. Mack also agrees with this method (corner tonguing). I don't know that I have ever heard that before. Since he is still active, I wonder if we could find out?

(My teacher is a Mack "descendant" -- maybe I will broach the subject with her -- expecting, of course, to be told more than I ever wanted to know about corner tonguing.)

VB: my teacher -- who, as I mentioned, speaks as if from the Oracle -- says one might be prepared to have a bit of tongue irritation from time to time. This was not apropos of corner tonguing -- just tonguing in general.
