go to your local music store (make sure they carry brass instruments) and there they should have a mouthpiece extractor.

What should you do when your mouthpiece is stuck on your trumpet without spending money?
The best way to remove a mouthpiece is with a mouthpiece puller. Most music stores will have a puller, and some will even pull mouthpieces for free. You will get a lot of other suggestions on how to pull the mouthpiece. The problem is, if you use pliers or other inappropriate tools, even with padding of some kind, you can damage the trumpet. The only relatively safe way to try it yourself is to hold the trumpet's mouthpiece tube (ahead of the mouthpiece) under the hot water tap for a couple of minutes. While doing this, hold a package of frozen vegetables, or the like, around the mouthpiece. The idea is to get the mouthpiece as cold as possible, and the pipe as warm as possible. Then, using a hot pad, try to extract the mouthpiece. This may or may not work (it does most of the time) but if it doesn't, it causes no harm to the trumpet.
How do you get your mothpiece out of the body of a alto sax if it is stuck?
Be careful because you don't want to break it but take some cork grease and coat the cork showing with lots of cork grease. Then carefully and slowly push the mouthpiece even further onto the cork and neck piece but NOT TOO MUCH!! If you have put enough cork grease on then you should be able to spin the mouthpiece around a few times and pull the mouthpiece off the cork and neck piece with maybe a little bit of trouble but it should work. I do this all the time and once you get the mouthpiece off, cover the cork with cork grease and if possible replace the cork with a new one and make sure to put cork grease on it regularly to prevent this from happening again.
How do you get your mouthpiece unstuck form a trumpet?
This is really simple! First put an ice pack or a napkin of ice on the place where the mouthpiece and receiver connect. Leave it there for a little while. After 5-10 minutes start turning the mouthpiece counter clockwise and it should come out very easily. If this still does not work use a lighter and very carefully hold it under the receiver. Then twist and that should do it. make sure not to melt your receiver and to wash it afterward. If it still does not work your mouthpiece has been severely jammed and you will have to take to repair shop to get fixed or use a pulling machine. Hope this helps!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do you clean a clarinet mouth piece?
You can go to a instrument shop hopefully with accessories and they sell a spray bottle with a special alcohol in it. it may be green that is what color it is suppose to be. if you spray one side turn it spray the opposite side then spray the inside and it may taste weird just use it the way it is. it will wear off and do that every time you need to. Or place the mouth piece in boiling water for about 5 minutes. It will be very hot so be careful! You should do this if you got sick. They both kill the germs on the mouth piece.

What is a trumpet called if the mouthpiece doesn't come off?
Stuck...Seriously though - It depends on the instrument. If it really is a trumpet, then chances are it's custom made, and the mouthpiece is not designed to come off. In this case, however, it is still called a trumpet.
