| Clinesmith offers a longer scale. Fouke will also build one at probably any scale you want. |

.
Fouke, Duesenberg, Asher, Clinesmith, probably many more.
I have all but the Clinesmith and they are all a pleasure to play.

Hey Bill,
I love the practice board I just got from you, that’s what got me thinking about a 24.5†scale. If your into building another steel, that would be great. I will put together some ideas and email you by this coming Monday.
And I gotta say, from start to finish, dealing with you was easy, no problems, and bottom line, you built and delivered a great instrument. Thanks again,
Steve

Larry Pogreba (who may or may not still be building), made me a baritone weissenborn that is excellent. 27†inch scale I think Add a Seymour Duncan soundhole pickup and away you go.
