You know me, I think the 186 is an all around darn good tuba. I use it for quartets, brass bands, big bands, and orchestras. I also have to say that I don't really have anything to compare it against. I don't have access to play 7 or 8 different types of tubas like a lot of people on this board. I did play a Yamaha for several years and I like the 186 better than the Yamaha I had.
