Well, obviously the tuba is more agile than a euphonium. Just because it's bigger.
If you drop it, it is probably going to break easier. Does that make sense? I hope so. If the tubas was made of glass, they'd be a whole lot more agile.
Also, a note to all the touring musicians, because I been there done that; if you take your damned horn on the airlines, ask for the "Agile handle with care" stickers because all they damned airlines want to do is ruin your horn! No fooling, because I've been there done that.
Just my two cents.
