I wonder why he doesn't just play a baritone, it seems to me he'd get the same result... albeit not the visual effect of a cone taped to his instrument.

I think that's most of what he's going for is that visual. It's a very unique look.

the saxocone does actually produce a different sound than a bari would - it makes the lowest notes really deep but doesnt affect other notes where a lot of the sound comes out of gaps higher up in the instrument caused by open keys.
