Besame Mucho for Mellophone - Angelo Bonaccorso

[mtaylorjazz]

Is this the horn you played this number on? I only ask because it looks more like a "marching french horn" than a mellophone...

Nice playing! That's a very underappreciated tune.

@mtaylorjazz Hi thanks...I don't know because here in Italy we not use this instruments...I buy this istrument for joke in ebay....I think is mellofone...or marching horn?this is different?I play this whit my laskey mouthpiece....

@angelobonaccorso  Oh, I see. Well, that's a marching Horn in your picture. Mellophones are more like tenor cornets or tenor horns and use a different mouthpiece. Anyway, nice tune. More people should play that one!

@angelobonaccorso This is a Mellophone. In Italy is used only by Marching Band and Drum Corps. You can find a lot of this groups in Mosson di Cogollo del Cengio (Mosson Drum and Bugle Corps), Verdello (Millennium Drum and Bugle Corps), in Amaseno (Amaseno Harmony Show Band), in Besana in Brianza (Besana Marching Band), and other groups.
