Knights of Cydonia on mellophone

This is me playing muse's knights of cydonia on the mellophone. I'm practicing mellophone fingerings and technique for the upcoming school parade. Also, I don't have anything else to play on right now but the school mellophone because my French horn is in the shop for repairs.

I apologize for the bad sound quality. The sound gets distorted in the higher ranges. Youll know what I mean when you hear it. Also, I couldn't do it in one take because this stupid camera only takes short clips. RRRRRR!

Is there a reason you are holding the instrument with your right hand and wiggling valves with your left?

[CavalloDiSpade]

yes. i mainly play french horn (ironically i have no videos of me playing that right now) and you push the valves with your left hand on horn, so i'm used to it. also im left handed.

Is the G on the top of the staff too high for mellophone?

[CavalloDiSpade]

no. on the mellophone it is a little easier to go higher.

actually even for the horn, that G is sometimes considered the highest normal note, i.e. any note above that is called "high". though it is pretty high itself.

[CavalloDiSpade]

@CavalloDiSpade: i understand your answer but UNIFORMITY! unless everyone plays backwards then you really shouldn't, not even while practicing. You preform the way you practice. Keep it up
