i'm not sure vibrato is a natural thing except with the voice- but, some people use it, some don't. some conductors do not allow it- some think it's a way to hide a not great tone, some use it to add intensity what they're playing. there are 2 kinds- jaw vibrato, used mainly by sax players or jazzers, and diaphragm vibrato- which is more of an "intensity" thing rather than a pitch thing, that is, more of a pitch variation using your jaw, which --i dont know, i really wouldn't do unless i was playing something like gershwin. my teacher does it sometimes... i guess it's personal opinion, and if you're in an ensemble... if you want to, and no one says anything, then i guess you're ok. there's an article by dr. paul drushler published by shall-u-mo about vibrato terminology, utilization and aesthetics- you should check that out. i believe it also appears in the clarinet magazine volume 3 no 1 november 1975-- you may be able to find that in the clarinet archives here. good luck
