Use lots and lots of air. Usually a fuzzy tone comes from someone not using enough air. Another problem is that you may not be opening up enough. Dr. William Winkle once told me to open my jaw as far apart as I could get it. This improved my tone by a mile. While you play very sharp, I tend to play very flat. The cause of this is usually a change, good or bad, in the ambrochure. If you've been playing quite a bit, you've probably strengthened your chops up and just need to learn to adjust accordingly.
