Jesse,

Thanks a heap for this - it measures approx 23.5" with the 625mm barrel -
so that's very relieving!

On another note - going by Liz's comments earlier on the fact that I am a
beginner and my embouchure may be weak - I've spent the day trying a
variety of things including swapping reed strengths, synthetic/cane and
varying embouchure..

I ended up with a double-lip embouchure which I can keep "well-formed"
enough for quite a long time and it appears that the piano's Bb is now
spot on with no barrel jiggling either!

Of course, since I'm a paranoid kind of guy - I am still eagerly awaiting
the reply from music123 to confirm the model - but so far so good. Thank
you very much for your help!
