under $25 including shipping is not a problem.

Here are two, and both have the standard mellophone (trumpet) shank:

Blessing: very deep (a la french horn) cup with a trumpet-style rim.

D.E.G.: basically a flugal mouthpiece with a trumpet shank. This one is called a "6V". I favor this one over the Blessing, because it sounds plenty "mello" enough, but this one will almost play the open "E" and high "C" up to pitch, even on "so-so" mello's.

I sell D.E.G. for about $18 over the counter and Blessing for $20. Others should, too.
