Tonguing with something on your month is
very different than with something in your
mouth.

Anybody out there really proficient on trumpet
and WW? I know Flip Oakes is. He may have something
of value to add.

I know from my experience in WW technique classes
as well as oboe lessons that feeling of articulation
is very different.
