Horn or Tuba

Hello dear freinds of the Horn,

so i got a tuba about 1-2 months ago and really love playing just like i love playing my horn. But I really have ambachur problems since playing the Tuba. So i get lower on my Horn easier but the high notes are a bit mor harder and the biggest problem my sound isnt that round anymore. Maybe its just because the Tuba is more round idk. Do you have anytips how i can still play both instruments but keep a good sound?

Heavy Valves

Hello,
I recently started to play the Tuba as a side instrument I usually play French Horn and got a 3 valve Eb Tuba for fun. And it has also rotary valves like my French Horn except the ones at the Tuba are much heavier at the beginning and sometimes are a bit slow coming up. As a beginner it isnt much a problem cause I dont play fast. But it is something that triggers me sometime because the valves at my French Horn are so smooth. I already the valves 2 times the first like 5 presses its super smooth but the next ones are like at the beginning. Am I doing something wrong? It is a St. Petersburg Tuba I think it is called.

Looking for advice should I buy a Tuba

So I play French Horn in my local orchestra and I really love it but what I also love is a Tuba so after I think since a half year I try to convince my parents that I wanna buy a Tuba just for fun from ebay. They refused but today they said with my own money I can buy one if I really want and now here is the problem I really want one but I don't have a use case for one I don't wanna stop playing French Horn but I really want to play Tuba because I love the sound so maybe you have a good advice for me.
