Both the 1865u and 188 are excelent all around horns. The 186 you can use very efficiently for solo, quintette, band, and if you play really well it can hold its own in a large orchestra. It is I believe an Ideal horn for someone who can only afford to have one horn. If you can afford to buy an f/eb tuba then you might want to look into something bigger depending on the type of playing you do. The 188 is of course bigger, but its give a little take a little, so you will loose a bit of the versitality that the 186 has. These horns have gotten a bit of a bad rap over the years and I don't know why. They have beautifull sound and are among the most consistant horns I've ever played. And I've played alot of them.
