The only differences are the size, the french horn mouthpiece is smaller, and the instrument they were made for!
French horn mouthpieces are conical producing a warm round sound, whereas Trumpet mouthpieces are cup shaped which allows for a brighter more direct sound. The rim (where the lips touch the mouthpiece) of a horn mouthpiece is generally narrower and much thinner than a trumpet mouthpiece.

∙ 13y agoA french horn valve moves like a revolving door. When you press down on the valve, it moves a piece of metal aside to let air flow through the pipe. On a trumpet however, the valve works more like a car engine, or a piston valve. You press down on a valve and it pushes the valve down inside of aside to let air through.
