| Mellophone.....
I played with one of the older French-horn shaped Mellophones today..... I was in the music store and it was hanging in the window, the guy was talking with a lady about selling her a harmonica, and so I played around on it, DOOOOOT! Daaaaat! Deeeet!! Fun, fun. I was being silly and told the lady "You need one of these!" then turned it around and stuck my face in the bell and said Hellooooooooo..... hehe. Great fun. The guy said it's a Mellophone, a Conn. I said well, it's sure Mellow! lol.
Anyway, this thing is cool. According to the scanty info I've been able to gather, it's a probably a nice classic, well-made horn, and well worth the price the guy's asking. I lack the money, needless to say, but I am very tempted.........
Anyone messed around on one of these things?
