Frankly, I think you should commit yourself to an instrument, become highly proficient on it, and develop your musicianship through it. Your desire to hop from from one instrument to a very dissimilar other instrument (flute to tuba to oboe) concerns me more than any issues your might have with physiognamy.
If you can play a lot of different instruments, you will end up knowing a little bit about a lot of things, but you will in fact prevent yourself from the kind of musical development that can only come when you are deeply involved with your instrument and its repertoire.
If you are drawn to high treble instruments such as the flute or oboe, I can well imagine that the tuba may not be your cup of tea. But don't keep hopping around. If you just CAN'T limit yourself to one instrument, then consider specializing in a family of instruments (e.g., low brass, double reeds, single reeds -- whatever!) and become a doubler on those.
Double reeds are not for dilletantes.
