Left to Right: Sopranino, Soprano, Alto, C-Melody, Tenor, Baritone, Bass, Contra-Baritone with overall heigh shown in feet.
The C-Melody was not produced from about 1930 until quite recently (but not by the major manufacturers), and the Bass and Contra-Baritone saxophones are extremely rare. The Contra-Baritone in Eb is also known as the Contra-Bass, though this latter name is not
consistent with the key of the instrument.
Compare the size of this sax with Barry Hall, seen here taking a contested mark, who stands at 194cm (6'5" in the old money). Here's a shot of Will Minson, 199 cm tall, with his tenor sax just to reinforce how big that contra-baritone is:
The above picture of the relative sizes of the saxophones is from "Celebrating the Saxophone" by Paul Lindemayer. It seems that this book is unfortunately out of print at the moment.
