What's Included in Your Download
You will receive an email after you complete your purchase with a download link. Your download will include:

Because our bluerpints are full size, it is helpful to print them on a large format printer at your local print shop (Kindko's, etc.) You have permission to print one "working copy" of our blueprints at a print shop.
You can also print full size blueprints on a standard home printer. See how to print full size blueprints on standard 8.5" x 11" letter paper.

- If you download the file to an iPad, you will need one of the free unzipping apps to access the files.

Here are a couple of pictures from Terry who built this instrument using our plans.
Terry says: "I downloaded the mini dulcimer plans and ordered the hardware from you. Thought you might like to see the finished product. It's made from Sapele and maple. The hammers were made from the same two woods as well."
