Everyone I knew played a 7C, except myself (5B) and a few others who went even smaller (10 1/2C, 11...). Maybe Missouri and Detroit are different...

I think Toots is on the mark here -- her teacher will be able to discern which mouthpiece is best for her. Some people do very well on very small equipment, others do well on very large equipment. Without hearing or seeing her play, I think any advice we give relative to whether she should go larger or smaller on a mouthpiece would be quite suspect.
