How much would an eviction cost if you're trying to break your lease?

This is a good question. Breaking a lease generally means that you are moving out of the apartment before the lease ends. If you paid any rent in advance, such as the last month's rent, you may forfeit that and your security deposit. The specifics depend upon the terms of your lease and what you agreed upon at the time you signed it. Technically the landlord could sue you for loss of revenue during the time your apartment is vacant up to the time your lease would have expired (this rarely happens). But since you moved out of your apartment voluntarily there is no eviction. An eviction is a court proceeding in which your landlord is asking the judge to force you to move out of your home. This is generally for nonpayment of the rent or for serious or repeated violations of the lease terms.

Total length including neck loop is over 5 feet of tubing but standing height after bends is just over 3 feet.

Diameter of the end of the bell also varies a bit by manufacturer. In terms of size, although called "baritone" saxophone, it is a bass instrument, with a range that goes just slightly lower than a bass clarinet and ends just one whole step higher than a bassoon.
