Just the design of this instrument? Ooookay… Pick "browse" then go to Codex Atlanticus here:
http://www.leonardodigitale.com/index.php?lang=ENG
Now the problem is I dunno on which page it is so you'll have to find it yourself, but here's one pic from wiki:

It's not the only pic you're after as Leonardo explored various mechanisms with rotating wheels that pull a bow across strings over different pages. That's probably the reason the reconstruction took 3 years.
And while humanity is obsessed with mass murderers from history like different Napoleons and Alexanders, I tend to be more interested in bizzarre characters like that DaVinci was. And he was definetly a piece of work.
