Saxophones Is yours a sitter?

[kevgermany]

It might be with the neck. Get a smaller neck (one not as long) and try it. It gives the Bari sax "more room", and it won't be jammed up in your face, no mater how tall one is. It also makes the right hand, especially the right pinky on a low c, more easy to reach. So if you want, try that and see what happens

THanks for the suggestion. What do you think a shorter neck will do to the intonation? And do you know anyone making them?

I play a Yamaha, and I had to test some baris, but the neck was way to long. I had to have my ex large strap pulled all the way down. Yamaha might sell shorter necks. So try there and let me know what you find

Thanks for the suggestion, but it's not helpful - shortening the neck will lead to intonation problems. And there's no reason to think a yamaha neck will fit a dolnet.

I never said anything about the intonation. I was stating that if you had a shorter neck, it wouldn't hit the ground while being played

A shorter neck and longer arms will probably sove it. I believe messrs Burke and Hare still have some stock.
