I am now taking balalaika lessons! The balalaika is a Russian folk instrument. The picture is to the right. It is similar to a guitar, but there are only three strings and is traingular shaped. It does not sound like a guitar, though. The sound is a little mellow and creates interesting harmonies.
My teacher's name is Alla and does not speak any English, so I will be learning two things at once. Tomorrow she will go with me and help me buy a balalaika.
