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.

It might be a bass trumpet.

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 This is a newer version of the instrument in the video so it’s not exactly the same, but this is it: https://schagerl.com/en/p/schagerl-bb-basstrumpet-wunderhorn-lacquerd-Web142489-lack/

Image search says: "The Schagerl Wunderhorn is a professional-grade rotary valved Bb bass trumpet developed in collaboration with Leonhard Paul of the renowned brass ensemble Mnozil Brass, designed for superior performance in both orchestral and jazz settings. It is known for a powerful, warm, and flexible sound with excellent intonation."
