A few years ago at the NY Brass Conference someone brought an old tuba with a nasty dent to Warren Deck, asking for his advice. He played on the horn while lightly touching the dent, and found sympathetic vibrations on a certain note. He concluded that those vibrations were causing that note to be out of tune, and advised the owner to get the dent removed. Having had similar experience with vibrations in a tuba mute, I tend to agree with his analysis.
