I'm wondering what you mean by "embouchure vibrato."
Vibrato can be produced using the diaphragm, tongue, glottis (throat),
or the hands cupped around the harmonica.
Embouchure refers to the mouth ("bouche" in French) so I'm guessing
that you mean vibrato produced by either the tongue or the glottis.
I doubt that hole size has anything to do with it. Diatonic players
don't tend to use diaphragm vibrato exclusively; it tends to be
combined with throat vibrato.

When I play my chromatics, I always use diaphram vibratto. It
just happens naturally for me and I like the vibratto that I get.
But when playing diatonics, I always turn to embouchure vibratto.
My diaphram vibratto just isn't as dramatic and takes much more
effort, to achieve. Just wondering if others experience this and
why the chrom. is easier to use diaphram vibratto.
I suspect the hole size might be the factor.
