Balalaika, Prima - Walnut

Introducing the exquisite Balalaika Prima, a masterfully crafted instrument that embodies the rich cultural heritage of Russia. Measuring approximately 27 inches in length, this traditional 3-stringed instrument features a scale length of 430 mm and a classic triangular body shape. The back, made with alternating staves of walnut and lacewood, offers a striking contrast to the light-colored soundboard, enhancing both its aesthetic appeal and acoustic performance. Included with the Balalaika Prima is a nylon gig bag and pick, ensuring you have everything needed to start your musical journey. The Balalaika Prima is tuned above middle C to A, E, E (1st-3rd), with the first string being the thinnest and extending over more frets than the others. This instrument's design allows for a unique playing style, where the left hand notes the strings while the right hand strums near the neck. The walnut on the soundboard not only adds a decorative touch but also protects it from strumming wear. E
