Mellophon-Die-Pumpventile

The Pump Valves Valves in brass instruments serve to change the length of the tube, enabling a greater range of tones. When the valve is activated, the air is directed through an additional tube loop of a specific length, thus elongating the air column in the instrument.

The Valve Section The valve section is the combination of all valve parts of the mellophone. It is a central component of the instrument and contains the valve casing. The valve in the valve casing can be activated by pressing it, which changes the length of the mellophone tube and lowers the pitch of the […]

Mellophon-Die-Wasserklappen

The Water Keys It is normal for moisture to accumulate in the mellophone during playing, often resulting in a bubbling sound. To avoid this, the water key is pressed and blown quietly into the instrument.

The Tuning Slide The tuning slide is used to adjust the pitch of the mellophone. The overall length can be lengthened or shortened to tune the instrument higher or lower.

Mellophon-Der-Sattel

The Saddle The saddle is a small piece of metal or plastic that is attached between the tuning slide and the bell of a mellophone. It serves to maintain the distance between the tuning slide and the bell, which is necessary for correct pitch and intonation.

Mellophon-Der-Quersteg

The Crossbrace The crossbrace is a stabilizing element of the mellophone and is present for reasons of sound stability.

Mellophon-Das-Schallstück

The Bell The bell is the most important sound body of the mellophone. Depending on the shape and material of the bell, the timbre of the instrument can be altered. Nickel silver produces a bright sound, while gold brass produces a soft, dark sound. The heavier the bell, the darker and warmer the tone.

Mellophon-Das-Mundstück

The Mouthpiece The mouthpiece of a mellophone is the part that the player touches with their lips. It consists of a dome-shaped bell, a rim for the player, an inner and outer diameter, and a groove that affects the pitch. Choosing the right mouthpiece can have a significant impact on the sound, intonation, and playability […]
