The tiny Eb that I am playing, a McClellan/Conn, has a really nice mellow sound, very "American." I don't think tone quality is due to the key of the tuba, but to other factors. I've played F tubas that are quite a bit larger than my Eb, that do not have as mellow a sound (i.e., more "german.") Not intending to start another American/German sound discussion, just using it as a point of reference.
