Hi David, when performing vibrato, please can you confirm where the tongue should be placed in the mouth. Hope this finds you and family well.

Regards

Paul

Hello Paul. We are well,

Hello Paul. We are well, thank you... I hope the same for you. Your tongue should be placed where it tunes your mouth to the pitch of the reed you're playing. It should also be relaxed (the tongue should generally always be relaxed, but if it's not, the vibrato will not happen).
