I have found that trumpeters who do not play cornet will insist that there
is no difference between the two instruments.
I suspect that you would also find that those players use mouthpieces
with the same cup, throat, and rim as their trumpet mouthpieces, the
only difference being the smaller shank. And the single most
important difference in tone quality and flexibility is the
difference between a true cornet mouthpiece and a true trumpet
mouthpiece.
Trumpet mouthpieces have also tended to adopt smaller inside
dimensions over the years. I understand that Vincent Bach's own
mouthpieces was the equivalent of the Bach 1C. I played a 3C for
many years, which was quite large enough for me, while my companions
usually went for the 10 1/2 C.
