Holy spit! That's amazing hahahahaha!!!!

From the description: "What if Lemmy played Balalaika in Led Zeppelin?"

You know what? I can't disagree with this particular crazy Russian.

I saw a post on TB about these!
Very cool indeed!
From what I've heard, the big ones like the one on video are normally made with 3 strings and the 4 strings one could be custom ordered from a manufacturer in St Petersburg, Russia.
Don't know for sure but this is what one of the guys on TB said.

The first time I ever saw one of these was in a Russian rockabilly band called the Red Elvises.

I am curious how well they project acoustically comparatively to an upright.
