All of Me, jazz mellophone

[@Gaemercub]

Interesting horn, and interesting mouthpiece for the size of that instrument. Thanks for sharing!

[@idiotpietruska3068]

Me who marches DCI as a mellophone: Me who also now reeeeaaallllyyy wants a jazz mellophone now ❤

[@WoodworkingforAnyone]

Trust me, if you spend all of your money on goofy instruments when you are young you will never have to worry about choosing a financial advisor when you are old. Some say this is a bad thing but you have a jazz mellophone and don't have to sit in some suits office. Hmmmm

[@lbj6771]

What I love about these instruments is their warm mellow sound! Great perfomance! Thanks!

[@davewroberts]

Wow! I’ve never seen one of those…great sound!! ❤

[@Bob1Mack]

Okay, I never knew I needed one, but now I do.

[@Mcbassy]

I feel the same way

[@robertadinolfi4217]

I gotta get me one of them!

[@robertwilliams5830]

This is awesome! Thanks for sharing

[@nowaytorunarailroad3987]

Wonderful job.

[@ok-ms3ke]

Very neat I like

[@Electrofrater]

Great!

[@lenabendidi782]

This song is amazing your soo good at mellophone too 😭

[@WoodworkingforAnyone]

He got 16k people to watch him play this goofy thing in his hallway. High fives all around. :) I love it.

[@SUPERSONIC76983]

My friend marches mellophone. I've never heard of this, though

[@Bryn_Raschaul]

Really cool!. I’m a composition major and a brass musician-mainly trombone-I’m thinking about becoming a jazz mellophonist. Do you think using a marching mellophone could achieve the same approach?

[@tlbmusic]

I don't know why not. I actually just purchased a flugabone (marching trombone) to use with other jazz pieces.

[@Bryn_Raschaul]

@@tlbmusic I forgot those were even a thing. The Brass family really does get more complex after the primary 4. Thank you for replying back!

[@outofstepbaritone]

@@tlbmusicWhy a flugabone, rather than a normal trombone?

[@tlbmusic]

This is a mellophone, not a flagabone. @@outofstepbaritone

[@outofstepbaritone]

@@tlbmusic sorry I was asking why you bought a flugabone for jazz rather than a trombone

[@skumie8164]

Just out of curiosity, how much did this cost overall? Price of the mellophone and the labor combined. I’ve been looking into doing this recently

[@mambojazz1]

Does this mellophone use trumpet fingerings or French horn Bb trigger fingerings?

[@tlbmusic]

This instrument is in the key of E-flat so playing with trumpet fingerings in the key of C it sounds a minor 3rd higher in E-flat.

[@tlbmusic]

Technically, it sounds a major 6th lower in E-flat.

[@guyboulay9900]

Très bon musicien.

[@mambojazz1]

@@tlbmusic I didnt ask about the key I asked about the fingerings!!! Someone else already told me its trumpet fingering

[@danltg]

just watch what he's playing

[@ianboard544]

I've confused it with a trombone on 20's recordings.

[@tioliak]

Hi! Is this tune in the key of concert Db?

[@tlbmusic]

Yes, the mellophone is reading B-flat which is D-flat concert. This means I have to transpose most backing tracks to the key appropriate for the mellophone.

[@Darius-y1e]

Nice.. may I inquire what type of mellophone and brand that is?

[@tlbmusic]

All of that information is in the description right below the video.

[@Darius-y1e]

@@tlbmusic sure thing

[@hillelsalem4615]

This is for sell? And there is an option to change it to The key of Bb?

[@tlbmusic]

No, it is not for sale. Key of E-flat is fixed.

[@bobnat6543]

where did you get the sheet music or did you play by ear? I would like a copy of the music if u have, thank you

[@tlbmusic]

Send an email to and I will send sheet music and accompaniment.

[@tlbmusic]

I just realized I sent you the wrong acc. trax. Send me another email and I will get the correct one to you ASAP.

[@potatojerry2511]

Hi, is it possible to request a sheet music and backing? I’d like to try it on my Conn 16E, thanks 🙏

[@ИннаНадежкина]

Молодец !

[@bwilliams463]

'Mellophone' is what we called marching French horns, but this sounds like a somewhat constricted baritone. So, is 'mellophone' the wrong word to apply to marching French horns?

[@finscontingencyplan7005]

Yikes. I see why they didn't make too many more. Wonderful playing though! You're squeezing every drop of tone out of it

[@bobcat24]

What’s wrong with it?

[@blackbeltjones2903]

Yeah, I'm confused by this comment as well.

[@finscontingencyplan7005]

It has a fairly thin and lifeless tone that this player is pushing to the limit with his fantastic vibrato

[@blackbeltjones2903]

@finscontingencyplan7005 OK I had a feeling that's what you meant. I can agree with that. It sounds lo fi, like a horn played from an old 30s record. Of course, his audio set up isn't the best either.

[@mikestang679]

Mellow

[@ИннаНадежкина]

Молодец !
