I totally agree with you! I met some of the cymbal players at a competitions, and they were some of the funniest people I've ever met! I'm a mellophone player myself...but if Kiwanis Kavaliers weren't so far away, I'd go out for them!

hehe...I actually have never in my life played on a mellophone mouthpiece, or any cup moutpiece for that matter. My horn teacher made sure of that. I use my regular horn mouthpiece (Holton Farkas MDC) with an adaptor. My sound is darker than most other mellophones in my section, which, for me, is desirable (I can't stand bright sounds).
