Possible flame material here...but:

If the music (or composer) "calls" for vibrato, use it. If it doesn't....then why would you want to sound like an old lady in church who can't find the note? (or....shudder....a violin). I am constantly mystified by trumpet players (especially...although flutes certainly aren't immune to the problem) who seem to need to quaver their way through everything they play. Most of them probably don't even realize they're doing it!

Nonsense Eliminator...this sounds like something you'd be qualified to comment on.
