I recall a story of a vocalist who had surgery to cut ligaments under the tongue to allow flutter tonguing (required in many German lieder, opera etc).

I've always understood shape of the tongue is a major factor influencing ability to double/triple tongue. I have a short tongue, cannot flutter tongue, roll my tongue etc, yet have been able to multi-tongue easily and quickly since I first started playing as a child.

I've read the posts above, many giving specific advice "this is clumsier", "hold tongue this way". Doesn't work for me. So...my point is, everyone is different, perhaps what works for won't work for others.
