The double and triple tonguing. I can single tongue that fastIt's only 80bpm!
Yes, but triple tonguing give a particular sound. I was trying to get Logic to write those same notes as 1/4 triplets and can't figure it out. That would be hard to play.The double and triple tonguing. I can single tongue that fast
Difficult to get, but mature cheddar made with unpasteurised milk is the bestFunny, thing, at friend's dinners, they'll occasionally do the port and stilton thing, with cheese they bring back from home (England). I buy Seriously Strong Cheddar from time to time.

That left-hand pinky finger array sure ain’t right-hander friendly!Just out of idle curiosity, I googled, 'was Jimi Hendrix left handed' and this came up..
Was Jimi Hendrix's ambidexterity the key to his virtuosity?
Guitar hero's 'mixed-handedness' was secret to his genius, argues American psychologistwww.theguardian.com
There may well be something in being ambidextrous. A lot of top sports people are able to play to a high level the 'other way round' to how they play Professionally.
I reckon there's a great deal of scope for flexibility and adaptability for us 'normal' folk also. Although you could argue the Saxophone is 'right handed' how right handed is it? How much of a benefit do right hookers have on the Sax? I certainly don't claim any
No, actually I sometimes think it's mainly right-handed players complaining about pinky table layouts. If only because it is a rarity for them to encounter something that's not geared to right-handedness.That left-hand pinky finger array sure ain’t right-hander friendly!
I think we left-handers naturally have more strength in our left hand, just like many right-handers seem to have most strength in their right hand.
I can see that RH/LH favouritism might come into it with guitar or a bowed instrument as on one hand the fingers are required to be independent and the other has more or a hand thing. With the sax the requirement of both hands/fingers is largely the same and piano completely so.
Blowing down the bell is definitely more difficult.I do remember, however, that the first time I picked up a clarinet my right (dominant) hand instantly went to the top joint keys and I had to be told to hold the thing the other way round
