39. "I was mainly an oboe player, which builds a strong embouchure."

Heck yeah, it does. Been playing my oboe for the first time in a couple years. It's been wonderful fun, but man, it hurts. I can only play for 15 minutes at a time

I know exactly what you mean about the french horn. I did the same thing when my brother learned to play one. I also thought that it was easy to pick up and get good tone from a bass clarinet, even though people always complained about the high register--maybe just better ability to adjust embouchure and airflow? I know oboe is far better suited to developing those skills, since it's unplayable without them.

Good luck if you go back to playing oboe again--that switch destroys your embouchure

"and have figured out how to make the euphonium sound like a euphonium. That's a good thing."
That's basically how I learned to play my instruments
