I apologize for the late response, and for the following possibly annoying

I was happy to see at least two positive responses on marching horns. I
wish I had known about them (and wish eBay was around) when I was in
high school, as it would have made marching season much easier.
I have a Blessing M400 marching horn (takes a horn mouthpiece) that is

Steve, I really doubt that you have interest in marching
with a band, but to answer your question:
The "marching (French) horn" is called the Mellophone or

My old director used to play with the Phantom Regiment, and she told
me about the marching horns they used; they looked like beefed up,
larger throat and bore sized mellophones, but she said that the
partials were all much more consistent than a mellophone and that they
were completely different in

I did my share of marching with both the classic mellophone* and the bell
front alto and of the two I would strongly vote for the alto horn to be a
better deal all the way around. It was a bell front instrument and very
easy to carry

A Marching French Horn is the b-flat side of a horn
wrapped a little differently. There is no need for
any kind of mouthpiece adapter. The only adjustment
needed is usin
The easiest instrument to play while marching is an upright or bell
front Alto horn. Next to that, a Bb Marching French Horn from any of
several makers. A regular mellophone is far better than trying to
march with a real horn. The mouthpiece is a little larger with a thick
rim, it's much li

Hi,
Just out of curiosity...why would you NOT want to
march with a standard horn?
As other has already pointed out, it can be done, and
the results are far superior than mellophones or
marching french horns.
I would also add that learning to play an 8D or
whatever on the march is good for you.
Steve-
I believe the most often used version of the French horn in marching
bands is the mellophone, but I too must confess that the article
didn't help in affirming that assumption. The mellophone is standard
in all high school bands I'm familiar with, and also many colleges and
Drum Corps, altho
