Hello
I am building first uke (concert) with a 15 inch scale length.
The on-line plans I found call for positioning the saddle about 1 mm less than 15 inches for "compensation", but most forums I read suggest moving the saddle back to compensate for string tension or measuring exactly to 15 inches
Anyone familiar with the rationale for shortenning the scale length?
Regards
Mystic
