I played BBb sousa for a while, then a 24j, and now a Mirafone 186. Maybe our band has been together long enough to sound better by now, but the guys in the band and myself think the band is a lot tighter as a group when I play the Mirafone 186. It has volume, good intonation and the bell does not have an annoying ring like the detachable bells of the Conn or the sousa. Use whatever horn sounds good to you and is comfortable. Strapping a 186 around your back is not very comfortable but I think the sound is worth it.
