How To Clean Your Mellophone (please, for the love of god, just do it)

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

I'd like to hear Saint Sean's Op 94 Morceau de Concert played on the Mellophone (aka Marching Alto Horn) cause it really amazes people when they hear what this instrument is capable of playing

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

It's basically a Marching Alto Horn. It takes an Alto Horn Mouthpiece and they do make Adapters that allow you to use a French Horn Mouthpiece.

[@trevorjenkins2553]

It’s better to just use an actual mello mouthpiece

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

@@trevorjenkins2553 I prefer using a French Horn Mouthpiece because 1st of all the Mellophone is an Octave above a standard French Horn (same pitch as a Descant Horn) so a Smaller Mouthpiece helps. When I did use a French Horn Mouthpiece on the Mellophone, I had to sand it smooth so I wouldn't hurt my lip.

@@RockStarOscarStern634 wait mello is an octave above a french horn?

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

@@daliah8883 I guess that's right, a smaller mouthpiece should help

[@DaBigMilk]

@@RockStarOscarStern634I don’t like French horn mouth pieces on mello bc less sound projection and less brassy sound ngl

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

This applies to virtually all brass horns of every type

[@mcprismyt7063]

Are usually just take my valves apart and take the springs and felt out and then submerge the rest

@@unknownhornplayer4055 Thanks!

[@dci_boi]

When your only mellophone is almost a decade old and cant tune at all and is permanatly sharp but is still in good use.

[@kingjay5689]

[@Olivia-qs9fb]
