Also, to get a nice natural vibrato, I can rapidly hit myself in the chest with the melodica as I move it away and towards my body. The fast movement seems to produce an acoustic vibrato (from the moving instrument) but as the instrument contacts my chest, it pushes air out of my diaphragm and produces a nice series of air pressure pulses, that, when repeated in fast succession, also produces a smooth vibrato.
