Geneology of a tuba...

Probably a little later. My 186 is 66XX, and other lists have definitely put that at 1971.

I'm also searching because rumor has it that ToJo played this horn on a few gigs, and someone has mentioned that he played Jaws on a 186. Most likely not, but I really wanna map out this horn's family tree just in case.

I'm pretty sure Mr. Johnson played Jaws on a 185 CC.

I did email them, and they placed it as a 1971, which was sold to their daughter company in Sun Valley, CA. They can't give me any more info, but they suggested I try to contact them. Problem is, they didnt give me any contact info, and I'l interested to find out how this horn made it all the way from CA to Virginia in a few decades.

I stand corrected. So maybe mine's a little older. That's fine. With each passing day, so am I!
