With some encouragement form Ted Smith @ Melobar I am begining production of some short scale Lap Steel Fretplates,initially in EBEG#BE tuning. I plan to start with Emajor,E blues,A major and Chromatic. B major, C# Blues would make sense since all the open string notes are availabe, but I wonder if most steel players could relate to the patterns. I also would consider some other tunings if the demand is there.

Given two instruments completely identical except for the scale length, the above described differences in sound and playing characteristics will usually be noticed. So, whether you're designing your own instrument, or deliberating the purchase of one, it's helpful to know how the scale length factors within the overall equation.
