Boat Paddle 16" scale tenors? Andrew is inquiring about 16" scale concerts and 18" tenors. The famous Radio tenor uke was a 15" scale. Then of course you have the Mezzo sopranos of 14" plus and the 17.5" to 18.5" scale length tenors. I am not even going to talk about all the long neck, super this and that hybrids on the market. Maybe that is why the industry has adopted the standard lengths of 15" and 17" scale lengths?
I should have tried to find the article again before I commented. I dont want to misrepresent Boat Paddle. If I remember correctly he was simply talking about how hew was always trying new thing and experimenting. He wasn't suggesting that he was "on to something" or suggesting he'd solved some great scale length mystery. When I read it, it came across as a guy who liked to have fun in the shop.
