Sopranos run 13 to 21 inches commonly. The "standards" arent very standardized if you know what I mean...
I provided the shorter one previously as someone wanted a smaller scale. I personally would find anything under about 17 pretty hard to play very well.
For fret measurements, think "fractional" not dimensional. Any scale length can be approximated by maintaining bridge to last fret distance and using as much of the "earlier" frets as you like. Think of it as "capo" on the neck of a guitar. Also it might be fun to check out "melodic" frets (like on a mountain dulcimer, or early balalaika) they confine available keys but make the "wrong" notes impossible. Also there are some really small "weedeater" stringline that can get down to .020" . A friend (Violinist) made a fretless Uke,(not for everybody)....GO Wild! (then come back just far enough to "play the dern thing)

Its pretty short, too short for my fingers for sure. You may find it easy to play, but hard to play WELL if you know what I mean.
But ukes are very fun.
Enjoy!
