Are you using as much air as you can? I can keep up with both the orchestra and the community band(s) I play for with my 186. (BTW... as of about 2 weeks ago I'm the new principal tubist of the Central Pennsylvania Symphony.) My predecessor at the symphony had a 184 and he could also keep up when he put enough air through his horn. It can be done, it's just a little harder. :-)

Have you experimented with different mouthpieces? I needed to switch to a PT-88 to be able to get an appropriate sound for orchestral work.
