[Dixielandjazz] Trumpet mouthpiece for trombone player

[Mike C.]

I strongly suggest you go to a music store and try out a whole bunch of 
trumpet mouthpieces starting from biggest to smallest. I could give you 
recommendations, but without seeing, hearing or knowing how you play it 
wouldn't be very helpful.
