None of the afore mentioned players used the heavy artillery of today.They played Bach, Besson or Conn trumpets. Bud, Harry and Georges are poster children for correctness in playing. They are men of small, medium and large stature. I have seen Bud live and videoes of Harry Glantz, they do nothing fancy.
Correct posture. Proper breathing techniques are evident in the playing of these artists.
The trick,and I hate the term, is perfect practice. Have that sound in mind that you want, then work on getting it.
I have no idea of your playing, so I only advise you to stick to the fundamentals and listen to yourself.
You can be your own best teacher.
