What size of Trumpet mouthpiece should I start out on?

I am a Trombone player. I want to start learning Trumpet as a secondary instrument. What is the best mouthpiece size for me to start on? Thank You

What size of Trumpet mouthpiece should I start out on?
I wouldn't know how to take the trombone training into account too much...





Most people learning to play trumpet start on the Bach 7C. It's fairly cheap and easily available. It's easier to reach higher notes on the 7C, but the tone quality's very bright. If you're not in too much of a rush to learn trumpet, 5C (or even 3C) might be a better bet and outlive the 7C's usefulness.





Hope my ramble helped...
