Thinking seriously about a four string octave or a bari. Electric. Should be perfect through my old-school 15 watt tube amp for blues. BUT I read that the shorter scale, 19”, axes pose a problem in regards to staying in tune.
True?
Thanks

I’m sure it’s a function of string gauges and tuning choice. Have no idea what the right ones would be.
