		The fingerings of the mellophone are identical to the fingerings of a trumpet.
		The main reason that the mellophone is used in place of the concert horn for marching is that the mellophone is a bell-front instrument, so that the sound goes in the direction that the player is facing.

	learning mellophone - Marching Band Planet
		The mellophone in Bb typically isn't called a mellophone; it is called the marching French horn.
		The most common reference to a mellophone is the obese trumpet-looking thing in the key of the F that does use the trumpet fingerings.
		i think mellophone is alot easier than french horn, but i was a trumpet player first, so that could just be me. i would say just learn the fingerings and give it a try, it might be easier than you think.

	Al's Tenor Horn Page - The Mellophone? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Tenor Horn and the Mellophone are close cousins in that they share a common bore, length and mouthpiece size (though the Tenor Horn is a Saxhorn and the Mellophone is not).
		Also, since pit bands are normally a hodgepodge of whoever you can get, sometimes you need the brassiness of the Mellophone to fill in the timbre of missing brass.
		Granted, there are no musical organizations that actively use Mellophones, but it hardly invalidates it as a musical instrument.

	MI Mellophone Members
		Anyway, I stuck with horn and played mellophone in high school marching band for my first 2 years.
		Then, because the mellophones are so awesome, my band directors began putting mellophone players in charge of other sections including trombones and baritones.
		So, I played baritone in marching band for the past two years and it was pretty fun, but I'm really glad to be back on my native instrument of mellophone.
