Fred Marzan had a couple of copper tubas he was very proud of.

I would love to have one, though. I bet the sound would be very nice (if the horn was already a winner in brass, that is).
If you were just after the look, you could have your favorite instrument copper-plated. Probably wouldn't be terribly expensive, either (less than silver-plating).

Are you sure it wasn't either 95% red brass or copper plated?
