<p>Hi, yes I've seen them before Brian. With a box made for three necks, it's no big deal, just a bit more work. I have a picture somewhere of a guitar with 5 necks, there are a few about.<br/> Cheers Taff</p>

<p>Hi, a three-neck instrument sounds interesting. I think it would be a better deal to build an instrument to take three necks from scratch than to modify a body that tapers up to accept only one neck.</p>
<p>Plenty of room for three tailpieces and three bridges, but three necks? would be an interesting project. I can visualize ways to do it but there's too much surgery involved for my liking.</p>
<p>I would be interested in how you go about it, keep us posted.<br/> Cheers taff</p>

<p>I was thinking, buy it, add two necks, tune one each EBE, DAD, and DGD. This is Soviet era, so not an antique masterpiece. If I found one at a thrift store or pawn shop I might do that. not interested in paying for the shipping on this one.</p>

<p>Hi again, just a bit more info about the Balalaika. They are commercially available in different sizes, Prima, Alto, bass, and Double Bass. Tuned to E4-E4-A4, E3-E3-A3, and E2-A2-D3, E1-A1-D2 for the basses.</p>
<p>A Piccolo size is harder to find, it is an octave above the prima and tuned E5-E5-A5.</p>
<p>I got this information from the last issue of the American Lutherie journal that I was reading last night. What a coincidence.</p>

<p>Taff is correct. I went to a Ukrainian dance performance back in April. I was able to speak to this lady about her 3 string CBG. ;)<a href="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/10826726459?profile=original" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/10826726459?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-full"/></a>Somewhere I have Ukrainian </p>
