Rolling your tongue to get a trilling effect? I'll have to look into that. You normally don't use your tongue to trill since that affects the air flow and stability of the embouchure. But I'll see what I can find.

Isn't it called 'virato' or something? And is used by people who think they're good, not realising that people who are really good don't spice up music when it doesn't need to be.

I've never come across a mordent. But in backwards Britain we still say 'crotchet, minum and bar' instead of your new fangled American terms. No respect for history I tells ya!

1st, I can answer that for you, being more of a woodwind specialist, its called flutter-tounging... easier to do on the flute than on the clarinet.

there is also double or triple tounging on brass instruments (you can do them on woodwinds, but the embroucher doesn't make it easy )

Isn't it great, Elim, that all we have to worry about is holding a few keys down at the right time, and knowing when to presse/release a pedal?

None of this kinky tounge-rattling for us Men of Ivory, eh?
(While we're playing our instuments, at least )

Double and triple tonguing on the trumpet is okay and needed for a lot of works. Flutter-tonguing is NOT something I recommend. I've tried it before, and it wreaks havoc with the embrochure (more so than multiple tonguing).

Anyway, I think we better turn this thread back onto its original purpose before someone locks it and tells us to take it to the Officers' Lounge. I think Trill is a very odd name for the planet, too.
