the 182 has a 16 3/4 inch bell and is truly a 3/4 tuba. Its narrow in width and does not have the branch and bow size of the 186. the bore size on the 182 is .770 on 1-3 and 800 on the 4th.
but the rest is small and so a 3/4 sound. the larger 4th gives it a great low register.
wold make a great pit BBb or a small quintet tuba or the Lexus of 4 valve middle school tubas.
Intonatin is great and hard to say anything about it except its more like a 3/4 than a full size and it overblow.
