If I am not mistaken that is a student line horn. However, it is was obvious to me that the only big difference was that the 186 has more nickle plate on it that the S series. I think they are pretty much the same, however, maybe the Mirafone people give the 186 a little more attention to detail than the 186. The last time checked you could by the 186 S in CC and BB flat for the same price ( approx. 3700.00, if I am not mistaken ). I used to the own a 186 S before I purchased a Kalsion 4/4. I liked it alot, but never realized the difference a CC tuba could make in someones playing. I would go with CC if I were you. After all in that line of Mirafone I dont' think the price is any different. Call Charlie at Brasswind and he can give you the full specs on both horns. It shouldn't be hard to aquire one of these horns. Anyway, I hope this helps....
