Do you place your mouth like a trumpet? or do you mouth the pipe, like it seems the japanese do? Why do you prefer one over the other?

I am sorry if there is a thread here already, but at work, and limited on time

I have found that I seal with my tongue, build up pressure in my diaphragm and then unseal and "cough" sort of...

 

[Lightgeoduck]

HA. this is un freaking believable... of all the possibillities of another thread, it had to be one from you

but the thing is couldn't you do that with the mouth pieces that come with most commercial blowguns in the states, AND if you mouthed the pipe? That's my main curiousity

I used to play woodwinds, so I "tongue" when I blow.

And i still have this weird picture in my head of people putting their mouth around the whole mouthpiece instead of the shaft. Lol.

Some topics need to be read after the first cup of coffee first thing in the morning. I was about to holler at the wife "see honey other people" :-D O ;-)

lololol, yeah I play alto sax to using my tongue is the best method

I tried the "tounging" method the other day and didn't see much benifit but after reading this I think I'll try again. I could definately use an increase in "blow pressure" :sword:

 

[orcrender]

Tounging for me.

When we compile a blowgun terminology, tonguing can be called " Frenching" :lolu:

That is deffinitly better then saying I just poke my tung in the hole and blow. hew: just so you all know some of us seem to have dirty minds. :stuff:

I cant do the tongue thing. I just puff air .. cant do it any other way. But I get decent speed.

I get waay more power using the tongue technique but I have trouble controlling it.

I guess you could get fancy and use a pneumatic valve MJ.

It would have to spin open really fast to work. I know on Mythbusters they stated in one episode that they had to find some specific valves for their air cannons, as normal valves didn't open fast enough.

 

[superman365]

I was thinkin...2'--valve--2'....maybe that will give me enough time....I'll try it and see

 

[superman365]

never mind....darts dont fit through the valve....I'll think of something

 

[superman365]

that exact valve is very hard to turn....I'll have to find something else
