I agree with Jay. I would compare [using a very large mouthpiece on this model of tuba] to [playing a very small trombone with a Schilke 51D]. The results in both instruments would be dull sounds and no advantages.

I actually (out of necessity) used a 184 in a professional symphony orchestra for a season. It sounded "different" but absolutely was "adequate". I assassinated the patrons on the low D# in "The Planets" with that instrument. Also played that season were the Verdi Requiem, (I think I remember) the Arnold "Scottish Dances", Le Sacre du Printemps, and a bunch of other stuff that my tired old brain has dismissed.
