I believe playing long tones "builds your chops". It also helps out with breathing. I believe breathing is the first thing responsible for a good tone. Do breathing exercises before you start playing, make sure you're breathing correctly. My middle school teacher who I used to take lessons with taught me to blow from open G down to E (not chromatically but just straight down) and play each note for 2 beats and use as much air as you can. Once you reach the Low E, pop the register key and play your B for 4 beats. I used to do that ALL the time and it really helped. Eventually you can build up to doing each note for 4 beats or however long you can.
