What difference between a 3c and 7c trumpet mouthpiece as far as range?

I just took a look at mouthpiece comparison chart, and according to the Bach numbering system, a 7c is listed as medium deep with a 16.20 mm cup diameter and the 3c is medium with a 16.30 mm cup diameter.

∙ 14y agoIt all depends on the player. As a Trumpet player improves, it is generally beneficial for him to move from a 7C mouthpiece to a 3C. This typically improves his range, but not always. You must experiment with sizes until you find the right one for you. Most music stores have mouthpieces you can try out.

∙ 13y agoIf they are made by the same company, the 3C will have a smaller space between the tip of the reed and the mouthpiece. That's called the tip opening. Yamaha uses a numbering system like that, but others may as well. If they are made by different companies, all bets are off, since the same number doesn't mean the same opening for different brands. You can search for "mouthpiece facing table" and find comparisons of different brands, but that works best for pro level pieces.
Smaller tip openings are easier to control and require less air and less strength, so they are good for beginners, but they don't allow the player as much flexibility. Smaller tip openings are also good for building strength, since they work well with harder reeds, allowing a young player to build up gradually.
Large tip openings allow for more volume and more flexibility for experienced players, but they are harder to control and to play in tune, and they require lots of air and strength. Because they demand softer reeds, younger players wouldn't have the opportunity to build up gradually.

How can you tell if a trumpet is a bass trumpet?
A bass trumpet sounds in the register of a baritone, exactly one octave below that of a normal b-flat trumpet. The bore size (diameter of the tubing) of the bass trumpet is considerably greater than that of a normal b-flat trumpet, and the bell size and slide length will all be similarly increased. The mouthpiece of the Bass Trumpet also resembles a Trombone/Baritone mouthpiece.
What is the difference between flute and trumpet?
Trumpet has bore that remains the same throughout most of its length before flaring rapidly close to the bell. The flügelhorn bore is conical from the third valve onwards and the bell is larger, giving a mellower sound. There are also construction differences. From the mouthpiece receiver tube, the trumpet tube goes forward before sweeping back to enter the third valve, whilst the flügelhorn receiver pipe directly enters the first valve and as a result, instead of having a tuning crook, the receiver tubes is telescopically adjustable. The fingering and pitch is normally the same in that both are Bb transposing instruments. Minor clarification: they CAN be in B-flat, but trumpets are available in other keys besides B-flat.
How does the quality of a trumpet affect its use?
The build quality of a trumpet can effect the tonality, range and ease of use of the instrument.
To which instrument classification does the Roman tuba belong?
You are correct; the Roman military Trumpet was about four foot in length, and was used as a military signal trumpet. It was usually made from copper or iron and was a conical bore straight tube that came in three pieces with a mouthpiece. Although the Roman tuba (trumpet) was used at sacrifices, processions, triumphal processions and funerals, it was primarily used to announce troop movements during battle. Classifications range from 'wind' to 'brass' to 'aerophone' and it was intended to be played as loudly as possible.

What is the difference between a trumpet and a flute?
A Flute is woodwind and is played with keys. It is in the key of C Major and creates sound by blowing through a hole. It's range is a lot higher. A Trumpet is a brass instrument and is played with piston valves. It is in the key of Bb Major and creates sound by buzzing into a mouthpiece. Its range is generally lower that the flute except for the soprano trumpet

How are the trumpet and flute similar?
There is very little similarity between a trumpet and a flute other than that they are both musical instruments, they are both constructed of metal (but different metals), and they both use air in motion to produce sound. The trumpet, however, is usually placed with the horns, or brass instruments, while the flute is considered a woodwind. The mouthpiece of the trumpet is blown directly into, the flute is blown across. The trumpet uses valves to alter the pitch, the flute, keys. The trumpet usually starts at F# (below middle C) and has a range of 2 1/2 octaves. The flute begins at middle C with a range of 3 octaves. The trumpet uses an exponentially flared horn at the exit end to amplify sound. The flute uses no amplification system. The air channel of the trumpet is coiled, the flute, straight.
