OG's perversion set me thinking (or what will have to pass for thinking for the time being).

What happens if you play an alto, say, with a tenor mouthpiece?

parts of your horn will be horribly out of tune due to their being the wrong volume of air inside it & the relative lengths being slightly out of whack... It ain't great, trust me

Nachoman and JonF - I can get that effect with the correct mouthpiece.
