Today as I went back and forth between playing my Koaloha soprano and Honu concert I noticed how similar the scale length felt. I measured both of them and found out they are exactly the same! 15 inches.

Now I'm curious if I actually have a super soprano Koaloha or if all their sopranos are of this scale. Could anyone with a soprano or concert Koaloha chime in?

Have you contacted KoAloha and asked them about it?

Sounds like you got a long neck. Our standards are set at a scale length of 13.75", concerts at 15". If your fret board has dots at the 5th, 7th, 10th, and 12th positions, it's a long neck.
