It's been done both ways, but the good cones, as inaugurated by John Dopyera and offered to this day by National in San Luis Obispo, have a concave bowl in the center. The biscuit rests on the rim of it; a small screw holds the biscuit in place, being tightened only enough to ensure nothing will rattle. The cones with the flat top sound pretty bad.
