What is the distance for the right hand from the F key to the Low C key on each of the models: B-6, B-800, B-900, and B-901?

My B992 which should be the same as a B901 measures 3 1/8 - 3 1/4 inches or about 78-83mm center-to-center. I have relatively small hands and this span is very manageable for me as is the rest of the keywork on the Yani bari. The question made me curious so I also measured my Barone bari as well as my Yamaha and Barone tenors. The Barone bari and Yamaha were virtually identical to the Yani bari while the Barone tenor was just a little wider than the other 3 horns at 3 1/4 - 3 3/8 inches.

It made me curious too, my Conn 12m measures about 100mm, my Selmer VI about 93mm. I sold my B901 long time ago and remember the space between the keys being pretty tight.

I remember when I had been playing a 6M for a while, then my 12M, and then I picked up the 10M and noted that the RH little finger was much much closer to the others than on the other horns.

Now, after playing on all these for so many years, I don't even notice these kinds of differences.

The point being, that they're all a little different and in reality it doesn't matter.

I would not buy or decline a horn based on this factor.
