mellophone

Where it comes from

Apparently from mellow + -phone, although compare melo-.

noun mellophones

A brass instrument frequently used in place of the French horn in marching bands and similar performance groups. On the issue of the mellophone being used as an introductory instrument for a beginning French horn student you must consider the fact that although they look similar, the instruments are entirely different.
