RE: Centered Tone

There was a posting about a week or so ago that
asked for advice on an mp that would give a dark
and open sound. At the time it struck me that this
these were opposite characteristics. I had catagorized
it (perhaps simplisticly) as:
dark sound = closed mp = classical
bright sound = open mp = jazz, pop, etc., although there's
a place for dark sound in jazz too.
centered sound would a part of either bright or dark
if played right (embouchure, breath etc. as Tim2 posted).
Please correct me if I'm off base here.
