In my experience, the more muscle/lip I use, the worse my tone is. I'd rather have a weak embouchure and amazing air than the other way around. I personally know two top-quality professional players who can take two or three months off and pick up their horn and play as though they never set it down. They can do that because they're not using their lip muscles to play; they're using their air.
