That's because all her bits and pieces ARE played on bari. She may call it
a tenor (yeah, OK, the scriptwriters screwed up) but it's definitely a bari.
I have the "Songs in the key of Springfield" CD, which is a whole lot of
songs and soundbites from the show (it's a really great CD, incidentally),
and all Lisa's solos are played ON BARI. Same for the "Simpsons sing the
Blues" CD. The thing I find difficult about her playing is that she has 3
fingers and a thumb. Hmm. Could be problematic.....
