actually, a really good, brand new bach mellophone (best type) would only cost about a thousand dollars. lesser quality ones would cost less based on the brand of instrument that you wish to buy
Marching baritones are a bit heavier and the mouth pieces are much bigger than a mellohone. Some people sometimes refer to the mellophone as a marching french horn because they are so much alike.
You generally use a French Horn mouthpiece for a mellophone. Hope this helps!
Mellophone has a concert B flat note tuned to F. Besides mellophone, the trumpet or fluglehorn are the closest.

Kinda. A mellophone is a trumpet pitched like a french horn. It has mostly trumpet fingerings.

A mellophone is a marching french horn while a marching baritone is well, a baritone. They have much different ranges, baritones are considered low brass while mellophones are in between trumpets and low brass.

No, they are completely different. A mellophone is a brass instrument, a bit bigger than a trumpet. A xylophone is a percussion instruments. Its similar to a marimba.

It depends. The trumpet uses less air, but it takes alot to get high notes. And same goes for mellophone. They are heavier than trumpets and lower in some volume, notes wise. Like, if you played french horn, it would be easier to play mellophone because it is in the same range with fingerings and air volume. Trumpets are the same throughout. But in conclusion, they are pretty much the same. The only difference is sound and weight.
