r/mellophone

I’ve played both and personally prefer Kings but I wanna know what you guys think.

I’m a mellophone player for a show-style band, and recently, I upgraded to a 1C Vincent Bach megatone, which has vastly improved my tone quality, especially when playing with intensity(cranking). However, I've observed that more seasoned players achieve a resonant effect on sustained whole and half notes by 'cranking' bell tones. I believe I'm at a level where I can start experimenting with this technique, but I'm unsure where to begin."
