Did I hear about a mouthpiece with a curved lip contact point (to conform to the curve of the jaw as an aid to high notes), or did I just imagine it?

To explain: I'm thinking of an 'eyebath' shape; so that when you stand the mouthpiece on a flat surface, looking from the side, the rim curves upwards in the middle.

I'd be interested to see how this would work, particulary with people with 'pinched' jaws (as opposed to 'flatter' faces) who cannot get high notes without a lot of air escaping from between the rim and the sides of their mouth.
