Once you have downloaded the plans, you will need to unzip the plans( these days it should automatically unzip by right clicking or using winzip or 7-zip). The use Adobe reader to view and print off the plans set at no-scaling 100% There is a lot of overlap. I suggest collating the plans using a lightbox, or a sturdy window(with care) use a glue stick or magic tape to join the drawings, together and to finish of put some extra tape around the edge for sturdiness.
In the USA you can get zither pins from elderly music, in the UK from the early music shop, otherwise I may supply some or the odd key from my Lyre shop, let me know!
