RE: [Harp-L] Throat Vibrato

["Eric Neumann" <eneumann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For years - I used to use my hand to effect a vibrato - where I would
'shake' the harmonica inward and outward of my embechure.
As an effect, I still sometimes use it for top-end OB's. 

There are lots of ways to do vibrato. =)

If anybody can give me any pointers on this I'd appreciate it a lot. 

Fwiw, i do mine like this (first we'll take draw vibrato): as deep in
the 
throat as possible, when I inhale, I say a series of "uh uh uh uh uh uh
.  It may 
be diaphram but i confess that for all my years of harp playing, my
simple 
brain has never quite comprehended what that is, tho i'm sure i prob.
use it. 
  For blow, it's almost the same, 'cept i don't seem to need to vocalize
as 
much.  Whether this is the accepted way or not, i don't know, but other
harpers 
frequently compliment me on my vibrato.
  On Charlie McCoy's instructional tape, he briefly describes how he
does it 
- his seems to be more of a mouth thing.  He drops, then raises his jaw 
repeatedly.  U can also perhaps involve your tounge to do it.  Imo,
Charlie's way is 
a very mellow vibrato, whereas my typical vibrato is more pronounced.
