Yes, the 186 is a fine horn for the money. There is little better on that price point than the one I played on the April tuba-buying road trip this year. However, I have a completely different recommendation. Look for old Conn 24/25J's at Taylor Music and other such tuba outlets, because there are not many better 6/4, 4-valve horns for not much coin. Also, you might consider the Miraphone 187 for slightly more horn than the 186.
