I've had a 181 F for a couple of months now. It is a great F tuba and if you get the six valve version like I did you can actually play the F below the pedal F of the horn. So, it will play low. It will also hold its own in a full size orchestra on _bass_ tuba parts.

However, it will not play the low notes like a contra bass tuba does and it definitely has the F tuba sound. So, I would not consider the 181 as a primary horn unless I was only playing solos or small ensembles.
