I don't know, I am presently in an Instrument repair program, and I have seen, or more accurately, heard the difference it makes on a trumpet. Maybe I haven't delved deeply enough into my notes yet, but I was under the impression that the only shapes that mattered(bell included) were conical vs. cylindrical. If you add mass to a trumpet by silver plating it, there is a distinctly darker, more mellow tone. I would assume this also applys to Tuba.
