Compensating euphoniums are for professionals or euphonium players that are really dedicated to playing.

All compensating means is that the instrument has the further advantage of being able to play in the lower octaves using conventional fingerings. See related link for more information.

Why are brass instruments shaped the way they are?
Brass instruments are made of immensely long tubes of metal. It they weren't curved in any way, the majority of them would stretch more than 20 feet. They were straight instruments (herald trumpets) before the technology was developed to curve them. They way they are curved is set by ergonomics, how people are. They try to make the instruments "fit" a person the best possible way so that it isn't a problem to hold/play them.

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.
How much does a trumpet mouthpiece cost?
Very Cheap an inexpensive. maybe $50-$75
It depends on the model. Depending on where you buy it, Bach, Schilke, and the other common brands start about $30 and go up, but some brands, such as Monette can be $200 or more.
What is the different slide trombone valve trombone?
A lot. Although they look similar they are played differently.
The main difference is the mechanism used to create the notes/pitches.
The valve trombone is basically a baritone horn in the shape of a trombone. It uses a combination of 3 valves like a trumpet to generate the different pitches by the vibration of the player's lips in the mouth piece and the combination of valves pressed down.
A slide trombone uses a slide to change the wave length of the ptich combined with the vibration of the player's lips in the mouthpiece.
Notes or pitches rely upon sound waves. To change pitch you change the length of the sound wave. The valve trombone uses valves to chnages the course of the air producing the sound wave to lengthen it or shorten it. The slide trombone does this by moving the slide up or down.
