John,
You have a rather large choice between a number of terms, depending on
whether you are thinking of _tremolo_ in it's (assumed?) historical
meaning of a fluctuation of intensity (with or without a reiteration of
the note) and _vibrato_, that is, a fluctuation of pitch not amounting
to a complete change of note.
If the context is one of modern performance, not of historical
terminology, then 'tremolo' is used to describe rapid alterations
between pitches wider than a trill provides, on string instruments,
which is what I presume John means. While there are no doubt various
terms that could be applied to this, I would not expect them to be
understood by the average string player.
