The varied family of Central Asian lutes is a large one, and one of the most popular and best known is the balalaika, with its unique triangular body shape. Developed from unstandardized folk lutes by the nobleman Andreyev in the late 18th century into a whole family of instruments with standard tunings, the balalaika has become one of the most important plucked stringed instruments in Eastern Europe, and the quintessential lute in Russia and the Ukraine. A very intricate, virtuosic repertoire has elevated the balalaika to a level of a classical instrument, and is taught as such, with written music, transcriptions of other works, and its own special music composed for it.

Gift for my wife
My wife has unbelievable rhythm and always taps along with music. The tunable was a surprise gift she instantly loved and played along with an old Steve Miller CD.

Nash Tavewa Clay Harmony Flute
I was fortunate to have an opportunity to play a Nash Tavewa clay drone flute while on vacation. You cannot play one and not want to add one of these fabulous flutes to your collection. In a search for one of Nash’s flutes I found that Lark in the Morning knows quality instruments and seen they carried Nash Tavewa’s beautiful flutes. I ordered this beautiful Nash Tavewa harmony drone which shipped and arrived quickly. The voice of this flute is spectacular and I have thoroughly enjoyed playing it daily. I have many wood Native American Style flutes in my collection but this clay flutes voice is unique and transending. If you are a flute player and do not have a Nash Tavewa clay flute in your collection I would highly recommend reaching out to Lark in the Morning to see what they may have available and or what may be coming. Lark in the Morning obviously knows their great artisan’s and unique instruments. Thank you Lark in the Morning for having that perfect Nash Tavewa Clay Harmony flute I was looking for to add to my collection!

Sweet!
It is a delight to play. I'm impressed with the craftsmanship, but wonder about the choice of the cut of lumber for the soundboard. I was expecting it to be quarter sawn, which is the cut used in the very best high-end instruments, but found that the soundboard was made from flat sawn wood, which doesn't have the best acoustic properties.
