FWIW, this exercise does help with the physical aspect of "carrying" vibrato across notes. I should start doing it every day again.

A thread on vibrato should always be alive, Haskey!
I have been wondering about vibrato lately though. Many 'Classical' players sometimes seem to have an automatic vibrato machine. Do they think about it?
The old story goes that when young Miles Davis went for a trumpet lesson he used vibrato. Supposedly his teacher said,
"Don't do that, when you're old you'll shake anyway."
