truth is, Czar Chris, the 186 was for many years considered "the" standard,
full sized tuba (full-sized="4/4") i.m.o. its not shrunken any, in fact,
the 186's built now are a scootch bigger than those of 30 or more years ago.

The 188 is certainly a bigger tuba than a 186. Call it a 5/4, or don't. Its more subjective than not. Or not.

f.w.i.w.
