From: "Dan Leeson: LEESON@-----.EDU> Subj: Michael Favreau's diaphragm vibrato Date: Thu, 17 Feb 1994 07:41:27 -0500
Michael says that he uses lip vibrato on saxophone but finds this
impractical on certain other instruments so he switches to
diaphragm vibrato for those.
Michael, enlighten me: lip (or more precisely, jaw) vibrato causes
slight but subtle changes of pitch on a saxophone or clarinet.
How does diaphragm vibrato achieve this same end on other instruments;
i.e., what in the mechanics of diaphragm vibrato causes pitch
alteration of any kind?
Second, explain exactly what you do (and what happens when you do it)
during diaphragm vibrato.
I am not asking these questions to pounce on you when you give an
answer. I am genuinely curious and my mind is very unclear with
respect to precise and accurate answers on this subject.
