Well, I'm not sure this is what Rainer means, but I can tell that in saxophone playing it makes sense to tune a few cents high and actually "play low". The point is that you can have much looser lips and get a better (to my taste) sound that way. You also keep the option to perform vibrato with a pitch amplitude that goes both over and under the nominal pitch (a habit I picked up from playing guitar with the STratocaster vibrato bar set up as "floating"). But in sax playing this "looser lips" approach goes even a bit further as it adds more of timbre tremolo behind the vibrato's pitch oscillations.
