I agree with Rick (and if I didn't he would bury me with facts anyway.) I just wanted to add that the KEY of the horn DOES NOT necessarily reflect the TIMBRE. Many modern day Bb bass trombones have much larger bores and bell throats then the G bass trombones of old and therefore have a noticeably larger and DARKER sound than the seemingly bigger instruments they replaced. Some have even taken it to such an extreme as to be nicknamed 'slide tubas'.
