Which horn is the right horn?

I played the French horn for 3 years as a kid and now, 14 years later, I'd like to relearn it. Should I get a single or double horn? Where should I get it?

Oh also less important question - I totally forget which cleaning/maintenance accessories hornists need

Would I be better off playing a 5/4 cello?

I'm 6'7" and a beginner, although I did learn viola for a year. It seems "full size" 4/4 cellos are for anybody over 5 feet tall, but then who are 5/4 cellos for? People as tall as me?

Also would y'all recommend the Franz Hoffmann Amadeus?

Wouldn't it be absurd if the powers that be want everyone else stressing about money and unable to afford to live comfortably?

Can this even be considered a conspiracy at this point...? It's interesting to think about how back in the 60s, making big, meaningful purchases was quite achievable. I hear people go on and on about how the US economy has gotten worse and worse over the decades. Key word is decades. Based on what I've heard about the Great Depression, it hit suddenly. Everybody knew times were tough but people generally believed better days were around the corner. No, these days you don't have to consistently settle for oats, flour and sugar, and no, unemployment isn't at 25%, but it seems people are scraping by almost as much today as they were back then.

It's just much more debatable today because a) people don't want to admit they're struggling financially, but... How could the average person NOT be?? And b) it's been getting gradually more difficult to afford to live comfortably over the course of decades

My main point is: It's much harder to acknowledge times are tough when you can't be sure when times got tough. I, in my late 20s, find myself asking "When did this start?" And wouldn't it be weird if times getting tough as slow as they seemingly have was the government's choice/tactic/plan? They certainly didn't struggle during the great depression.

There are a few other artists on Spotify, Apple Music, etc. with the same artist name, so their music keeps appearing with my music on my artist profiles. I used to submit forms on Apple Music for Artists every time the random guy's music would show up on my profile to remove it, but I can no longer sign into Apple Music for Artists. Is there a way to ensure this doesn't keep happening?
