Welcome to the forum.
There are many knowledgeable,experienced and helpful players on this forum.
Are you in marching band, jazz band,concert band, school band or other? What brand and size of mouthpieces do you currently have? What brand and model of trumpet do you play? Have you tried the Bach Megatone and Denis Wick Heavytop mouthpieces? Do you prefer gold or silver mouthpieces?

That is a WIDE range of mouthpieces that you're looking for... Why?

Looking for a mix to have on hand to try with students? Trying to find what you want to play? Looking for suggestions? Opening a store?

Look around TH you should easily find a lot of mouthpiece threads - commonly the answer is get a teacher that can help you find the piece for you... Like shoes - one size doesn't fit nor match the needs of everyone.

And Brand/Maker?.. realize that the numbers you've written have no real standardized values... IF we assume you're talking Bach, then that gives a reference point but, again, not all that specific.
A Bach 3C is different than say a Curry 3C in many ways, so is an ACB 3C.
Megatone is a Bach nomenclature, and are made in various sizes.

More specifics needed to answer or guide you....

Hello,
Welcome to the TH. It is time for a mouthpiece safari. check your local music store. Some have a whole box full of used pieces of varying brands and sizes. Start playing and pick up a dial caliper. Once you find a good fit to your jaw/teeth structure, you can mess with depths/shallowness.
I use the Kanstul mouthpiece comparator site, for general comparison. It gets me close to what I think I need. Depending on genre or horn I am playing, I have found the Schilke M3C, 14, 14B, 13B, and Warburton 4 and 5 series, fit my face the best. Smaller, shallower or wider does not work so well with endurance, range and intonation for me.
Good luck

The last thing you want to do is start spending $$$$ until you have a definite idea as to who and what you want to sound like. Start studying MPC's-different brands, seek out a knowledgeable teacher who will guide you in the direction you wish to go. In essence, you have to become as master B.S. detector. Good luck in your quest.

Welcome. For starters, take a look at the TrumpetHerald Marketplace and in Category : select Mouthpieces.

There should be plenty to choose from.
