mellophone may be easier to play, but it sounds horrible compared to the refined sound of the french horn.

i actually like the sound of the mellophone more than the actual french horn.i just pick the horn up 2 day and i had a heck of a time trying to play it cause i havent picked it up due to marching with mellophone.i like being able to hit the really hi notes and it is so much easier to hold.

I currently only play mellophone, but I'm intending to play horn as soon as i can get my hands on one. i think horn sounds better, (like, not out of tune 100% of the time) but mellophone seems easier- not just my opinion, but the idea i get from my section of horn players, too.

I am currently on my second year of mellophone in high school. As a woodwind to brass convert, I love the mellophone. My sophomore year I tried F Horn for a semester, and I hated every second of it. The tone quality is just too different, as well as the embouchure and how the instrument is held. Plus on a mellophone, higher notes are easier to play, and it is possible to march with a mellphone.

^ooo, what'd you convert from?
i actually took up mellophone kinda as a gateway to horn- i was planning on asking to borrow a horn or trombone for the summer, and then my director was talking durring class about a prospective mello shortage and if any woodwinds wanted to switch to come talk to him, and i was like "hey that works" so i did :D
i still havent managed to get a real horn though. heh.

I personally find mellophone "easier" to play, but I definitely love french horn more than mellophone, although sometimes it's easier to hit high notes on french horn for me thanks to the trigger. I don't like mellophone's sound at all. It drives me up the wall whenever the directors call mellophones "french horn"...It's a MELLOPHONE! They have their own name! Why is he defiling the good name of french horn.... T_T
