I picked up the tuba last year and had the exact same problem. My range in the low end (and high end, curiously enough) increased by about a fifth on either end. However, my tone from low F down into the pedals was AWFUL! Well, the reason was that I was not focusing my embochure enough on EITHER instrument in that range; I just didn't notice it as much on tuba because I was so new to the instrument. Mouthpiece buzzing is what cured me of that problem, and after a couple of weeks my low range was better than it was before I started playing tuba, and I was able to continue playing tuba without any more of these type of ailments.
