Balalaika w/ Free Hard Case, Tuning Chart & CD

This brand new balalaika back is made with stave construction in two tones of rosewood. The darker back contrasts with the light colored wood of the soundboard. On the soundboard there is one rosette sound hole. The Apex of the soundboard joins with the narrow neck and is covered by a rosewood finger guard.

The lower two corners of the soundboard are likewise protected by dark rosewood accent pieces. The peg-box at the end of the neck is at an acute angle to the neck and body. The strings run from the tuning pins over the metal frets on the neck, across the movable soundboard and are secured on the base of the instrument.
