If you think of why we do vibrato- to simulate the human voice- then wouldn't it be logical to produce vibrato in a similar way? Singers don't use their lips to do vibrato, and they don't use their diaphragms to do vibrato. The place where any, and all good controllable tasteful vibrato comes from is the larynx (the voicebox-any relation to singing???!!). Doing vibrato with the stomach offers no control of the vibrato, and hugely alters the air stream...BUT this is where it starts out. Lip vibrato destroys any embouchure control that one may have had in the first place, and on oboe we need as much control as we can get! I know that french oboe players play with a lot of reed in their mouth, and I guess in that respect lip vibrato may work, but it definitely wouldn't work on any long-scraped reeds I know of. Long scraped reeds require the player to play at the very tip of the reed with an open embouchure, and if the lips are maneuvered to do vibrato, then the sound will change too much.
