| Pop My teacher, Ray Mase, talkes sometimes in lessons about having more ping in the sound. If you want to hear a good example of ping when playing trumpet check out the Fyre and Lightning Cd by the American Brass Quintet.
Anyway, he said that he gets the ping in the sound by the lips reacting to the air in complete efficency. If there is good efficency in tone production than there is no wasted effort, and the sound rings with a good ping.
Alot of the people I have heard play in NYC play with that pop or ping. One person once refered to it as the "Local 802 attack." LOL
