Icelandic Langspil
This
instrument
has
been undergoing a revival thanks to people like Chris Foster
and Bára Grímsdóttir who have played this
model all around the world. This instrument was based on
one played by Diddi fiðla and developed by Chris Foster
and myself to make a 21st Century instrument, a blank canvas
to explore old and new music with other instruments.

Copyright and business
ethics
Part of my business ethic is to always where possible make
available the plans of my instruments so that others can copy
and build on the work I have done. For this I do ask for a
payment for most of these plans but all these designs have
been tried and tested and represent the apex of where I am
with them. If you need more info after you purchase you
can drop me an email and I will help you as best I can.
If you wish to make and sell instruments from these plans you are free to do so, though I would appreciate it if you still give credit where due. These drawings were made from my workshop templates, some CAD drawn, others hand drawn with only the measurements needed, to open the plans you need winzip or 7-zip to unzip the files and adobe reader.
More plans soon
Final Notes on printing the plans
To use the plans Simply Print these off onto tracing paper using your own printer, match up the printouts and tape together! I have left a big overlap to cover different paper sizes and also to aid collating the drawings. You may need to play with the settings of your printer to get the printout right, usually if you use adobe reader, set at 100% you should be ok.
Some people with very high definition printers found they had to lower the print quality to get a clearer printout.
Only instruments with fretting patterns need to be absolutely accurate, shapes can be off with little effect to sound. Check the scale length measurements against your joined together printed drawings and the width and lengths.
Please feel free to email if you have any questions at all or
need help using this service.
