I just bought one of these at an auction for really cheap. It is a 6-stringer (appears to be three 2-string looped courses.) But building a CBB -cigar box balalaika- seems like a natural/no-brainer.

I don't have one of these, so I guess that means I need to get or build one. Most I've seen are 3 string but I've seen a couple of 6 strings. I think they're strung like a mandolin.

Ahhhh, something new & exciting to fool with now there's a group.

I guy just came into the music store today with a balalaika. That was wild!! Where I live you  don't see them that much or people don't even know what they are.
