I think it may have also used a separate soundhole, but I don't remember for sure.

I suppose I could try to mash up something of my own, but it would be like re-inventing the wheel (which, in my case, might end up being triangular). Instead, I'm asking the hive mind if there are any plans out there for such an instrument.

If I build it, I guess I'll have to build a special case for it, too.
Check out the hybrids offered by Goldtone. The F6 or F12 might be just the ticket and they have others as well. https://goldtonemusicgroup.com/goldtone/

I saw one the prototype of this tenor guitar / mando hybrid when I was at the factory a couple of weeks ago. https://goldtonemusicgroup.com/goldt...uments/bz-1000
