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.

What is the difference between a Flugal Horn and a Mellophone?
A flugelhorn is most similar to a trumpet, while a mellophone is closer to a French horn. Both of them are conical, meaning that the pipe size is increasing the entire length of the instrument. This is different from a trumpet, which stays the same width before flaring out as the bell. Both of them have piston valves, which are about the same as trumpet valves. They also use the same fingering combinations. This is different from a French horn, which has the sideways-looking rotary valves. A flugelhorn mouthpiece is similar to a trumpet mouthpiece. It has a rounded cup and a wider bore. Pretty much anybody who can play trumpet can play the flugelhorn. It's used in a lot of symphonic pieces as well as jazz songs. A mellophone mouthpiece is far more similar to a French horn mouthpiece. It has a narrow, cone-shaped mouthpiece with a skinny bore. A mellophone is usually used as a marching French horn because it requires an embouchure very, very similar to the French horn. Mellophones rarely appear in jazz songs and pretty much never appear in symphonic compositions.
