Well... there is a lot of debate about it, and unfortunately there is also a lot of debate as to what exactly bright and dark tone means. To me dark is equated with a mellow sound, like a string bass, and bright is equated with a more distinct sound, like that of a trombone. I have experienced silver tubas having more of a mellow sound whereas brass tubas tend to lean towards the trombone sound. Now, obvously, there are a lot more factors that go into sound than just the metal!!!
