Posters have mentioned the different oral shape. I think it is a different tonal concept on trombone than euph. Which this oral shape can affect. Otherwise you basically sound like a slide euph or slide tuba. The tonal concept should be more "centered" or "pointed", especially if you use a small bore horn. Usually I can tell when a euph or tuba player is doubling in bone because their tonal concept is too broad (for my taste anyway) I came to tuba playing from the trombone side first, so my tuba tone tends to be a bit more centered than many. I also tend to use smaller equipment than others. But that is the concept I like and strive for.
