If none of the above work, then you will need to apply mechanical force to pull it out. I would not recommend doing this if you are an inexperienced trumpet player. A few ways are:
If the heat from the hands does not work, then run some hot water in your sink and put only the lead pipe under the water for a good 15 seconds. Try pulling using a corkscrew method: counter clockwise pulling.
Wedge the moutpiece in between the door and the wall on the side of the hinges. Place only the mouthpiece and keep the trumpet perpendicular to the ground. Open or close the door and let the wedge act as a lever to pull the mouthpiece.
Best of advice:
Go to a person with a mouthpiece puller.

as grow to be stated - bypass to the shop with it. There are categories of puller and maximum mouthpieces will pop out with a bench fixed heavy duty one (which band directors have not got). If it won't pop out with a puller, the shop will ought to take that component to the tubing off and .... money. the way this occurs to the horn is that it falls hard on the mouthpiece. in many instances, caught isn't any vast deal. in case you attempt pliers, twisting, and so on... you will harm the joint on that tubing and it will fee you better than in case you had basically lengthy previous to the shop.

you can try heating the part of the trumpet where the mouthpiece goes under a gas flame for a few seconds, metal expands under heat so it might just expand enough for the mouth piece to come out.

Try to warm up the place where it is stuck by holding it in your hands for a while.. That used to work for me...

pull firmly and twist... like pulling a cork out of a bottle of wine
