Balalaika


Balalaika is a stringed musical instrument of Russian origin and is a traditional symbol of Russian culture. Balalaika has always been an original gift for guests of all Russia, who are interested in Russian folk music.

Balalaikas come in number of sizes. The smallest is The Piccolo Balalaika; The Prima is the most common size. It is approximately two and one-half feet in length. There are two more larger sizes, i.e. The Second and Alto Balalaikas. Since the real balalaika is rather large and it is not always convenient to carry, a miniature balalaika is therefore the best option to serve as a souvenir.
