Ebay Alert! There are sellers on ebay (e.b.a.y.1512 & vittoriomelon & mrsuredo) who have attempted to sell copies of our copyrighted instrument plans. These copies are forgeries and there is no guarantee that these forgeries of our plans are usuable or complete. Please report any violators of our copyrighted material to us ASAP. Thank you.
Blackline prints, rolled face out, shipped first-class in a sturdy cardboard box. Some fill two sheets. Roll your cursor over the images below to see if a second page appears. Click the image to see a larger preview.
Attention - Changes in shipping of instrument plans outside the USA.
Due to a substantial increase in International Postage rates and problems with poor delivery, we will no longer be able to ship plans in tubes to addresses outside of the U.S.A. All future plans mailed outside of the U.S.A. will be folded and shipped in a large envelope or box.
We will make exceptions if the customer would like to have the plans shipped in a cardboard tube, however this will be more expensive and will be determined by weight and destination. You may inquire about a quote by filling out the "COMMENTS FIELD" on our online order form or you can email us at orders@luth.org before you place your order and a quote will be sent back to you as soon as possible.
Plans shipped to addresses in the U.S.A. will continue to be shipped rolled in tubes at the usual rates.
This series of plans covers a wide range of instruments though it is neither comprehensive or uniform. We make no apology for this since it is simply reflective of what individual GAL members have offered over the years.
Plans may be previewed by purchasing the corresponding back issue of American Lutherie (AL) where it premiered as a reduced drawing. In many cases the reduced plan is also available in a volume of The Big Red Book of American Lutherie. The books and magazines may contain photos and text not included on the full-scale plan.
