Good point, Larry. come to think of it, I couldn't really do a throat vibrato at all until I stopped trying to make one.

Here's what I feel when I do it: When I make a note, I hold my throat 
open so as to get a full tone. When I want a vibrato, I relax my throat 
muscles. I think that the sudden relaxation of the muscles starts a 
vibration, and leaving my throat relaxed maintains it. But one thing of 
which I am certain is that it involves relaxation of the throat.

Throat vibrato in a harmonica is the same as for singing. I suggest you 
look around for information about singing vibrato, which should be more 
readily available than the same information under harmonica throat 
vibrato. It is the same technique, at least the way I play and sing.
