| Sam,
Yes, I normally play an Eb trumpet because today's audiences are too much about perfection so there's a certain amount of security the Eb offers. However, when I was in school I played the Hummel on a Bb like you.
Do you practice high trills? If you don't, it's not just going to pop out merely because you need it to. You must practice the techniques for a long time and then play the music the techniques are included in. That makes it a lot easier. It's one of the reasons I don't like giving the Haydn or Hummel too early to stidents.
I play my G to A trills 0 to 1/2.
Also, forget the C trumpet. You won't need one for a long time. It's just an unnecessary expense for you right now. Everything you need to play, you can play on the Bb.
