I switched from a 7C to a 3C after a few years of playing and found the change to be very beneficial. This was the change our band director suggested, but I would urge you to try out different sizes, if you can, before making any kind of change.
(The sizes I mention are sizes of Vincent Bach mouthpieces. Each manufacturer seems to have its own method of describing the shape and size of a mouthpiece.)

∙ 12y agoyour mouthpiece size should very depending on the music your playing.
if your doing a bunch of high pitch squealing you would probably want to use a 14a4 but never use a shallow mouthpiece. if you do your lower range tone quality will go out the window. if your playing a few ledger lines above the staff to under the staff it would depend on your personal preference and lip size. i have huge lips, so i use a bigger sized mouth peice, a 3c

How do you adapt a trumpet mouthpiece to a cornet?
You would have to make some kind of adapter that would allow the larger trumpet mouthpiece fit into the smaller cornet leadpipe. I don't think anyone does that. It's easier, and more correct, just to buy a cornet mouthpiece since a cornet mouthpiece is designed specifically to fit a cornet.
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.

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.
