"An octave is (by definition) double the frequency.  That's why middle C and high C both sound like a C.  Your ear hears them similarly.  To double the frequency of a vibrating string you cut the length in half.  So the 12th…"

"I thought it was same distance from nut to 12th fret as it is from 12th fret to saddle?   Mine is, including my banjo uke."
