I think Mr. Schultz is wondering at the size of the horn, and using the type of music it has been used for as a guide. Off the top of my head, the 184 is a fairly small tuba with a good old-fashioned miraphone sound. It's not a BIG horn, but if you're the kind of player who can put in the work, it can make a BIG sound. Cherry Beauregard played on one in the Rochester Phil for years.

My advice is to play around on a lot of horns BEFORE trying to buy one over the net. Once you have an idea of what you're looking at online, you can start to formulate better opinions for yourself (and those ARE the best kind, aren't they?).
