Yes, the previous owner probably wanted to show the Conn logo and cleared rhat area. There is indeed a lot of tarnish that is very hard to clean on the horn. I am in the process of cleaning it entirely, but it will take some time and effort.
I newer heard this before and it is beautiful melody. It is clearly made for mellow or alto horn and this one has that warm but tender still caring tone. Thank you, thank you, for bringing this horn to live.
They did, especially the French and the British makers in the 19th and early 20th Century where known for these so-called "piston horns", before the German-style Rotary valves became the standard for Horns . Conn also made piston horns. However, this is not a true Horn but a Mellophone. I do have examples of true piston Horns in my collection.
@@yesmortitisme3659 The modern Mellophone is, but that is a very different instrument than the original Mellophones of the late 19th and early 20th Century.
Thank you for watching. I myself perceive the sound as a slightly brassy French Horn sound, but it could be very well possible that others perceive it differently.
Hey buddy. Not to be “that guy” but as an American, Mellophones are not shaped like that. Mellophones are like cornets with a cartoonishly big bell. Edit: I was wrong. Those are mellophones I’m used to marching mellos, my bad, although that does look slightly different from the mellophones you’re talking about
@@Euphonium_boi Yes. Most major manufacturers stopped production of the Mellophone in the late 90s. Due to the instruments, versatility, projection, cost and love by DCI, the Marching Mellophone is being innovated upon and still being played today. I have played a Yamaha Marching Mellophone for 6 years and counting. And I own a Yamaha Concert Mellophone. The Mellophone is my favorite horn, a unique American solution to the Alto voice
@@QuietWyatt2005 also why do people I’d least expect end up being the people I see in music videos like it’s insane you created a game and still have time to pick up an instrument
I love how there’s a ton of tarnish (or whatever it’s called) on the horn except for one spot of the bell

Look at those trumpet style valves! I didn't know they ever made horns with those.

@@RetiredBrassaren't mellophones the trumpet style french horns used for marching?

Bassoon sound

It’s known as an American Mellophone

Don’t sweat the mistakes lol. Research and awareness is how these old horns keep on getting played and enjoyed
@@QuietWyatt2005 thank uou

Нельзя так громко набирать дыхание, портится вся картинка услышанного.
I am sorry I breathe this way.
