It's not in the sense of not being able to use them, but rather of comfortability. I remember having to use a 3/4 for a performance not too recently and everyone "commented" on how it looked like I was playing a baritone! It's just the reach that becomes rather annoying during a concert and your fingers getting cramped since they're not properly spaced. I felt arthritic afterwords and even had to slouch or raise the horn to reach my mouthpiece!!!!
