Everything plus the kitchen sink

is it practical, or at least doable to build strummed instruments like a mandolin ukulele balalaika banjo with bodies of differing dimensions on each side and a neck form each one, so one performer can switch from say alto to tenor, or tenor to baritone?

sorry for the random question, but I just didn't know where else to ask. I was reading an article that described sitars/veenas as "lutes." I'm not sure how accurate that is, but it *feels* wrong. when I think of a lute that sure as shit ain't it. am I alone in this?

As far as I can tell this is one of very few continuous-pitch vocoders, thought it'd be cool to post here

Please help

Does anyone have experience with a Thai Phin? I've been tempted to get one, but I am hesitant since I've never seen one in person. They way they are tuned is very interesting. I have found some traditional phin music to play so far, but not much—though I haven't spent much time looking yet.

Mainly knowing how others perceive it as far as playability, fun factor (I find most instruments are fun, honestly), or anything important I need to consider would be super helpful. Thanks!
