Name

Is this technique really called "fluttertonguing"? I have heard it called "flutter tonguing" and "flutter-tonguing." The only way I have seen it written as one word is in German (Flatterzunge or something like that). I have never seen it spelled as one word in English. --number googol (edits) 04:35, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

New Grove 2nd Edn; Oxford Companion to Music; Oxford Dictionary of Music, and Walter Piston's 'Orchestration' all have "flutter-tonguing". On that basis, I suggest a name-change... Pfistermeister (talk) 17:57, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
