I just published a video on tamane (玉ね, ‘flutter tongue’) on the shakuhachi. This is part 8 of the mini-series on special shakuhachi techniques. Flutter tongue is used on basically all wind instruments. Tamane means to make a trill with the tongue or throat while at the same time playing a note on the instrument. This creates a flutter effect that can be used as a special effect.
