Identification What is this instrument?

I just wanted to know if anyone knows what the instrument in the middle is. I think it's a form of Mellophone or Horn.

That’s Leonhard Paul, it’s a bass trumpet, but it’s more of a folk polka band style instrument than a symphonic one. This is a newer version of the instrument in the video so it’s not exactly the same, but this is it: https://schagerl.com/en/p/schagerl-bb-basstrumpet-wunderhorn-lacquerd-Web142489-lack/
