Miraphone is making the 184 in BBb. It's just that no one is importing them to the U.S. You can have a shop like WW&BW special order a 184 BBb.

I can vouch that the 184 CC (presumed similar) works well with a less-tha-average air supply. It doesn't sound like a BAT, but it still sounds like a contrabass tuba, and you can make it go with only 1.5 liters.
