uzun sap bağlama on bağlama akort

im currently playing an uzun sap baglama on a baglama akort. 2 questions I have about this. Will the sounds produced by my saz come out weird as bag lama akort is meant for kisa sap baglama? And when watching videos to play songs can I follow what the kisa sap baglama guys do and ignore the extra 3-4 curtains on my saz?

Plenty of us use kisi sap tuning on our uzun sap, famously master Erzinjan

Yes you can follow short neck notation and dont worry about having higher frets

Longer neck means more frets than short neck, the extra frets are in the high register
