I'm considering a 25.5 scale zouk.
I've played octaves from 20-23.5 inch scale.
There will be more of a stretch. I might lose a bit of speed on melodies.
What do you gain from a longer scale instrument?
Does a longer scale capo'ed up sound different that a shorter scale without a capo? I see a lot of longer scale instruments played and the capo never seems to get lower that the 3rd fret. Does this make it the same as a shorter scale instrument or does it still have something different.
All else equal, would I notice the difference between a 23.5 and 25.5 cbom?
I have a 22 GBOM and 23.5 teardrop. I'm thinking a 25.5 would complete the family but then again, that's just something I tell myself when I want to buy something...the collection is never complete.
Thanks for your help!
