The bore of a Trumpet varies. One very common bore is 0.460 inches inside diameter. It is measured on one of the tuning slides.
No thats the whole point of them being different trumpets. If you are referring to a herald trumpet, those generally have a smaller bore than a regular trumpet and tend to have a brighter sound.
Definitely the Bach. I play trumpet and the Stradivarius is my favorite. What the real question is: what bore? I like the .38 because it has a more lively sound and is light and bouncy. If you are thinking of buying one, definitely look at both the King Flair and the Stradivarius.
The modern family of brass instruments can be broken into valved brass instruments (trumpet, horn, euphonium, tuba) and slide brass instruments (trombone). Brass instruments could also be broken up into Cylindrical bore (constant diameter tubing like the trumpet and trombone) and Conical bore (increasing diameter tubing like the horn, euphonium, and tuba).
Cornets and Flugelhorns and basically the same as a trumpet, but they have different bore types and different tubing shapes that make the tonal qualities different. Depending on what mean by similar, other instruments can be considered similar. French Horns are similar in that they have three valves (normally) and have similar playing characteristics, they are just normally in a different key. A baritone horn is similar in that most of the fingering positions are the same, and you can play trumpet music on a baritone without transposing. The same can be said for a euphonium, except that euphonium players normally play bass clef music instead of treble.
A herald trumpet is a special type of elongated trumpet. The tubing is curved similarly to that of a normal trumpet, but the curves are "tighter," meaning that the straight parts of the main tubing stick out much farther (both towards and away from the player). These trumpets are often used in ceremonial situations, as a line of herald trumpeters make an impressive sight. Even better, many of these trumpets are made with small rings attached near the bell and valves from which a flag can be hung.
You can go onto google images and see for yourself what a bass trumpet looks like. It is generally a larger instrument than the trumpet with a larger bore.

No. A cornet is like a trumpet, except that the tubing gradually gets wider from the leadpipe all the way out to the bell (the trumpet has a fixed-width bore). A pocket trumpet is just a trumpet with very tightly wrapped tubing.
Definitely the Bach. I play trumpet and the Stradivarius is my favorite. What the real question is: what bore? I like the .38 because it has a more lively sound and is light and bouncy. If you are thinking of buying one, definitely look at both the King Flair and the Stradivarius.

A herald trumpet is a special type of elongated trumpet.

A bass trumpet sounds in the register of a baritone, exactly one octave below that of a normal b-flat trumpet. The bore size (diameter of the tubing) of the bass trumpet is considerably greater than that of a normal b-flat trumpet, and the bell size and slide length will all be similarly increased. The mouthpiece of the Bass Trumpet also resembles a Trombone/Baritone mouthpiece.
not really as this changes its effectivenets and the piping used is already very thin. In the ideal world changing these would be the same as using a flugal horn
The larger the instrument the more tubing it has so it can produce a lower sound. For example, a tuba has a much larger bore size and much more tubing than a trumpet allowing a tuba to produce a much lower pitch than a trumpet can.
Four major brass instruments are: Trumpet: A brass instrument with three valves and a cylindrical bore. It is known for its bright and piercing sound. Trombone: A brass instrument with a slide that allows the player to change the pitch. It has a larger bore than the trumpet and produces a rich and mellow sound. French horn: A brass instrument with a coiled tube and a large bell. It is played with the right hand inside the bell and produces a warm and round sound. Tuba: The largest and lowest-pitched brass instrument. It has a wide conical bore and produces a deep and powerful sound.
