Sounds like you have enough MP's to try.....

When I was about 14, my band teacher put me on a 7C just like everyone starts with, I was about the size of your 10-year-old probably due to lack of food. Very strong for my size (had to be!) and had no problem blowing a nice long, strong note. I never went much of anywhere with it because we didn't have money for band, but it seems to me a "generic" or "basic" MP, why not?

My trumpet now has a 7C Bach, and my cornet has the Olds 3C that came with it, and frankly I can't tell the difference, they both work Ummm.... ok ... improving...!
