Funny! I thought of that very thing on a long drive to a gig near Chicago 3 or 4 years ago (lots of time for thinking). Make the mouthpiece from ferritic stainless steel and magnitize it. Same advertising hype that you stated, including healing sore chops as you play. Or would they even get sore with the MagniSteel Mouthpiece? Just think of the possibilities!
