Bent Mouthpieces

[jhatpro]

I'm curious to know who's had a mouthpiece bent, to what degree, and with with kind of results?

If I had this done, my objective would be help me get the bell up over the stand for big band playing.

I wouldn't mind trying it, but I'd hate to waste a mouthpiece if the results are going to lead to intonation or embouchure problems.

Thanks for any experience you'd like to relate!
