Would someone with a "long scale" instrument measure their instrument and provide me with the scale length?
I heard an interview of Casey Kamaka in which he described, briefly, the Kamaka factory's reviving of the long scale on several instruments, generally increasing the scale length by about two inches, plus other modifications to the body to handle the increased tension.
I have done several internet searches about the ukulele long scale, but have not come across anything more than the above information from Kamaka.
I'm looking to build some comparison ukes, similar woods,
different scales, flat top vs. domed top, and likely other comparisons as I build. Having the "accepted" long scale lengths to build with would be a good starting point.
Thanks!
