As someone said (and if they didn't, they should have)...you don't buy a "brand"....you buy a "mouthpiece". There are several different variables that make up the geometry of a mouthpiece (some of them not obvious to the layperson) and every one of these variables will have an effect on how it will play on any given trumpet for any given player.

Your daughter should go to a store that stocks different sizes of mouthpieces WITH HER TEACHER and just start trying them. It would help if you had said how long she has been playing, what her goals are with the trumpet, what mouthpiece she has and why she feels she needs to change but still... YOU SHOULD TRY BEFORE YOU BUY.
