As has been discussed in years past vibrato and tremolo have not had 
constant musical definitions.  In fact they started out completely 
flipped with vibrato meaning amplitude modulation and tremolo meaning 
frequency modulation.  Regarding hand vibrato, I'd suspect that like a 
Leslie speaker what you hear is a combination of fm and am with the 
variation in volume being more prominent but that of course will vary 
with the frequency of the note.  fjm
