So I've got a question. I have been playing tpt in high school but I want to play mellon in college this fall. Do you have any good reasons that could convince people, I don't know, like my band director or somebody? I've played it once before, for like a day and I enjoy their sound and the parts they get sometimes.

Just talk to the director. Chances are a college band needs mellos more than trumpets anyways. You should have no problem switching. The fingerings are the same as trumpet, and the mouthpiece (6v is what i recommend) is really user friendly. Good luck!

clarimellonet, what number was your mello? i want it next camp!!

[clarimellonet]

Case number 4, serial number ends in ..131. Take care of her, she's the only one that didn't get dented or scratched the three years I had her...and I'd like to see her the same way in Columbus at the homeshow.

[BradleyMellophone]

What mouthpiece were you using?

[zeebs385]

@musicislife26 Beloit, WI...there were actually two sets of showers, the ones down below the gym, where there was also a stage, had standing water...then there were newer locker rooms down the hall behind the stage. Funny how you remember things like this when you were only there one day maybe two in your whole life? (granted we were there in 2003 too)

[ranma911]

THEY SOUND SO PRETTY!!!!!!!!! <3

[GuyJolly]

I'm excited to have made mello cam at around 8:10 right after the flying mello.

[SilencingSin]

@clarimellonet ALMOST the same as trumpet. There are slight differences, but nothing crazy. That is, if youre playing a Bb mello. If youre playing an f mello its a lot different.

[ratshow]

what type of mellophones and mouthpieces do you guys use?

[BLAZE9857]

the mello throw spin looked sick at around 1030
