| Manny's advice is excellent.
I gave up trying trumpet gear at conferences long ago. It just doens't work. BUT, if you can get to a quiet place you can manage it.
My suggestion is that you look for someone who has considerable C trumpet experience to be with you when you try horns. Your teacher or some experienced trumpet player who will be there.
i know I would be happy to help a student in this situation were I there. Don't be afraid to ask someone who has this kind of background to test some horns for you - even if you don't know them personally. The trumpet community is very close-knit and fraternal. (I mean that in a non-gender-specific way.)
