I have built from the Hana Lima Ia Tenor Fan braced plans. I used the older plans and they were very good. It looks like they have revised them. They have a good site and are super helpful. I have not seen it, but I have heard good things about their book and if you get the book they incude a set of plans.

Hi Link,
I have a set of plans I drew up of a very nice tenor with slightly modified traditional fan bracing (see attached pic of latest built from this plan). I can send you a high res PDF or any other file format you prefer, if you're interested. PM me. They're yours for the asking.

I used the hana lima plans for my tenor. Pretty good plans but with a couple shortcomings....no thicknesses for body wood and no neck profiles. Also, the body depth is more than normal I guess. I had trouble getting a gig bag to fit.
Great sounding uke though

I bought a set of 4 plans for $15 off the internet from a guy named Don. There pretty nice planes. One of each size uke. I am in the middle of building a Tenor right now. I suppose I should probably show some pics....

Anyway, I guess I could search for the website if your interested.
