Make up a catchy name for the Mirafphfone 186!
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"

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
