It's the same for many instruments. Brass isntruments made from silver have a brighter sound (or 'harder' sound, much more piercing and brilliant) and horns made from darker metals have a darker sound (much softer and warmer in tone). As Phylum said, older instruments are probably hand-crafted, which is much better than manufactured ones. There's a whole world of little details and factors that I don't know enough about to talk about yet.
