I second the emotion towards Eugene V.

I also play trumpet--I tell you there's quite a difference between the
clarinet experience (having to get a mouthpiece hand-faced by a clarinet
virtuoso only to sweat over little planks of wood) and the trumpet (get a
Bach 1-1/2C for thirty bucks and you're set for life). Sure, you can spend
more for a trumpet mouthpiece, but IMHO (and that of most players far more
accomplished than me) you don't need to spend more than fifty bucks, ever.
