The Balalaika Prima, a beautifully crafted instrument that measures approximately 27 inches in length with a scale length of 430 mm. Its classical triangular shape and stave construction in rosewood create a stunning contrast with the light-colored wood of the soundboard. This exquisite design not only enhances its visual appeal but also contributes to its rich, resonant sound.
The Balalaika Prima is tuned above middle C to A, E, E (1st-3rd), with the thinnest string laying over more frets than the others. For optimal tuning, use a piano or electronic tuner as a reference. The tension on each tuning peg can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the screw on the top of the peg. Playing this instrument involves noting the strings with the left hand while strumming high on the soundboard near the neck with the right hand. The decorative dark rosewood on the soundboard not only adds to its beauty but also protects it from strumming wear. Embrace the rich history and cultural significance of the Balalaika, an instrument that has evolved from the Oriental dombra and has been cherished by Russian people for centuries.
Don't miss the opportunity to own a piece of musical history. Order your Balalaika Prima today and experience the enchanting melodies it can produce.

Beautiful amazing instrument! Easy and fun to play! Highly recommended! Great customer service and fast shipping!!
Jackie arrived, nicely packed and in rapid order... much lighter than I expected, thank goodness as the instrument is attached to the player by their thumbs (and mine are kind of old).
I never thought that it would be so challenging for me to learn play ... so different from anything I've tried before... I can feel the neurons in my brain sparking and protesting. Actually, it feels good to build new pathways. The cat is none too pleased with my new endeavor. However, Jackie is a beautiful instrument, well made and of good quality. I'm sure, in time, we'll become the best of friends.
Thanks to all at Lark in the Morning for making my experience so pleasant and trouble free. <3
The external Twin Spot works great on my Irish Bouzouki. I've scotched taped the pickup heads and wires it in place for easy adjustment, and the pick up sensitivity is very good. I'm running it through my guitar DI box for increased sensitivity and tone control.
I think that every household should have a buffalo horn. We are now the proud owners of a fine horn which we obtained from Lark in the morning. It will be handy for calling in the children from play, and signaling to the neighbors across the river.
This chieftain ain’t bad. I would say situated in between intermediate and professional grade. A little bit thick but not too thick. I’m happy with this purchase
