So, to review, this is what I would recommend for getting a more open tone:
- relax your neck and throat (relax, not open)
- put more space between your lips.
- relax your lips more in general.
- put more space between your teeth.
- make sure your tongue is not arched high in your mouth.

How can I improve my trombone tone?
Practicing slow, long, sustained whole notes (commonly referred to as “long tones” in band) is the best way to improve your tone quality. Do this first, as a warm-up exercise, before playing anything else.
What is the tone of a trombone?
Excellent trombone tone is always warm, rich and pure, regardless of the volume, range or tempo of the music. For this reason, it's vital to work on your tone quality every day in addition to listening. I recommend playing 5-10 minutes of long tones with a little mouthpiece buzzing every day.
How do you practice the quality of tone?
11 ways to improve your vocal tone:
- Breath from your diaphragm – take a deep breath into your belly, not your chest.
- Open your mouth – if you want to project and be heard, you need to open your mouth. ...
- Blow bubbles – this is a great exercise to practice sustaining your breath when you speak.
