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.
Is a marching French horn the same as a regular French horn?
No. A marching french horn, also called a mellophone, has a shape more like a trumpet with a large bell facing forward. A "regular" french horn has the bell facing backwards. You use your left hand to play the french horn and your right hand to play the mellophone. Fingering also changes to that identical to a trumpet, or a B-flat Horn (the E's and D's are fingered differently). Some mellophones are made to be used with a trumpet (cornet) mouthpiece, but there are adapters you can use to use your horn mouthpiece. Other mellophone are made to be used only with a horn mouthpiece.
Which horn is used in marching bands - Other the French Horn?
French horns are not used in marching bands. They are too unstable to march with effectively. Bands that march french horns are insane. The marching version of the french horn is called the "mellophone". There is also an instrument similar to the mellophone named the "marching french horn", but they are essentially the same instrument with a different mouthpiece. Additional marching brass instruments are trumpets, trombones, baritones, and tubas
