I’m glad there’s a thread on this as it’s something I’ve been thinking about. As a harp player I use throat vibrato a lot and I’ve been experimenting with this on sax and seem to be getting good results. I have read that some sax players use this method, but by far and away the most popular technique is the jaw vibrato you describe. Is there any reasonwhy it’s the preferred method – does it offer more control and better tone, or is it just “horses for courses”. I just wonder whether it’s worth persevering with the jaw technique or continuing to develop what I already use? Perhaps both?!?
