Stringed Musical Instrument, Balalaika

About the Item

Balalaika. With a triangular body made of light wood, with a small acoustic hole in the top. The long, narrow neck has a fingerboard with circular fret markings to make playing notes easier. The balalaika is a typical Russian three-stringed plucked musical instrument, sixty centimeters (prima balalaika) to one meter and seventy (bass balalaika) long, with a triangular body (in the 18th and 19th centuries also oval) slightly curved and made of wood. The balalaika is one of the instruments (along with the garmon, and, to a lesser extent, the jaleica) that are symbols of Russian music. Defects.
