[QUOTE="Mike T, post: 324500, member: 5470"] First requisite is the Spanish rolled R. Once you can manage that, you have to learn to do it with a mouthpiece stuffed in your gob, while blowing a note and maintaining a seal with your lips, while trying your utmost not to blow flat… The size of the mouthpiece has a lot to do with the difficulty, too. The bigger the mouthpiece, the less room you have to flutter your tongue against your palate and still keep it away from the mouthpiece. It can really hurt if the underside of your tongue hits the tip of the reed while you're flutter-tonguing. It's best to start off practising flutter-tonguing on a smaller instrument, like clarinet or, if you don't play clarinet, soprano sax. Once you get it right on them, move up progressively through alto, tenor and bari. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
