Greetings from Chicago,
I own the 182 and mine is a very nice and solid horn, suprisingly it has a good low register but it still requires some work. The intonation all around is good with a few small quirks. I really enjoy the horn and I have played it in an orchestra and wind ensemble (if I were ever to get a playing gig I think I would need to get a slightly larger horn). My biggest problem with it is that it is very small and if you don't pay attention the size of the horn can cause you to collapse down to get to the mouthpiece. I just had to find another way to hold the instrument. If it's azny consulation I purchased it through Matt Walters at Dillons and he was a big factor in my choice, he has a great set of ears and he does fine work.
