As the inventor of that gadget, I've put them on every model Stick that exists. As I recall, on the short scale Alto/SG12, the folded arms extend past the end of the body about an inch on the right arm and about an inch and a half on the left arm.
Thank you, Mike!
I have an SE soft case for my Alto, so that shouldn't be a problem.

They''re 6061 aluminum and so can pretty easily be trimmed down till they're not a problem.
Actually I use a home made wooden bar which is about 2,5cm shorter than the Lap Dawg on each side. Probably I will trim down the bar ends a little bit.

Bob Culbertson has a custom one-of-a-kind Tenor Stick that's halfway between a full size Stick and an Alto scale and his lap Dawg hangs off too when folded ...
I know Bob's medium size Stick, and he told me how it was made by Emmett, and about a year ago I asked SE if it would be possible to order one like Bob's one.
If I remember correctly, Bob does not have a belt hook on this Stick either, and the Lap Dawg is not attached in a conventional way.
