I also have a question about mouthpiece size. The closest I have been to playing a trumpet before now was about 10 years ago when I was in band and played the trombone. What is a good size mouthpiece for a trombone player to start out with on a trumpet/cornet. I currently have a 7c but it seems a little small in my opinion.

The 7C trumpet mouthpiece is pretty much "the standard" because it is pretty much "middle of the road" as mouthpieces go. A larger cup (1 1/2 or 3 per the Bach/Blessing measuring system) might provide easier transition for an active trombone player. If there was 10 years between when you last played trombone and started playing trumpet, I wouldn't expect mpc size to be much of an issue unless your lips are of the thicker variety.

About three months ago I switched from a 7C to a Monette STC1-B4S, which closely compares to a 3C, and it really helped my pitch centering on all notes, has helped further development of my upper register, and is overall just a lot more comfortable for me to play than a 7C.

I use a 1C for my regular stuff and a 1D in marching band for lead and scream. I used to use a 3C but the 1C makes a HUGE difference in tone. After a week on the 1C you couldn't pay me to switch back to the 3C.
