A mellophone is an alternative instrument to a french horn used in drum and bugle corps that has 3 valves. They are used mainly because they have bells that are facing forward as opposed to the back or side, like a french horn. They can be in the key of B flat or F and, because they are very loud, are almost exclusively reserved for outdoor settings. They are considered "middle brass" because they are not as high as trumpets or low as tubas.
