Hm, that's interesting. Either this is a fundamental difference between the trumpet and the horn, or something else is different with me. On the horn I need more air the lower the note is. High notes require a good support from your body and higher tension, but since the lips are stiffer and narrower less air passes through. As long as my lips don't tire I can hold a very high note much longer than a very low note.
