Tone or Sound Do you guys think vibrato on saxophone is tacky?

[AlonW]

I love using vibrato almost by default but I try to think about when not to use it or use less of it. It’s harder to play vibrato on bassoon so I think bassoon jazz is similar to what a sax would sound like without (or with less) vibrato.

Why do you claim that vibrato is harder to play on bassoon? Do you play bassoon?

Well, for one thing you can’t use jaw vibrato on a bassoon.
