Though I still have a lot to learn, I think that round sound has to do with the breathing: warm air (deep breathing)= warm sound; centered pitch : if you play sharp your sound is going edgy, if you play flat the sound quality will go down as well. How about these Jim Thompson's buzzing book exercices? They seem to me like a good starting point. Equipment has also to do with it, but it is rather complimentary. I met recently the principal of the Opera National de Paris who was insisting on getting the sound conception in the low register and trying to transfer it to all registers. Playing a tune in all keys may help. VB gives as always some very useful tips...
