OK, all these hot new tubas have names that dazzle. But, the old do-everything workhorse is humbly known as the 186. Lets see who can come up with the best (ane most appropriate) nickname for the 186. Bonus if it can be slightly tweaked to fit the 188.

I think you just named it.
186 = "The Workhorse"
188 = "The Clydesdale"

Call the 186 Odin and the 188 Baldur.
Call the Willson 3050 Jörd.

Clydesdale? No way do I want my tuba to be named after Budweiser.
But as long as we're going that route:
186 = Bock
188 = Doppelbock

Alles - the German word for everything. I use my Alles for all my tuba playing.
