The Early Music Shop balalaika is a traditional stringed musical instrument with a characteristic triangular body and 3 strings. This is a Russian style balalaika hence it being strung with 2 nylon and 1 steel strings. The most common tuning for this balalaika is E E A
For more details about this or any other instrument, please do not hesitate to contact us.
It is a beautiful balalaika with ornate design, sadly the tuning knobs came loose and made me unable to get into EEA tuning. I got it repaired elsewhere and now I am happy playing .
