Recently built a Russian Balalaika from a Kit I’ve had for decades. Fun project and turned out quite nice.
Unfortunately, I have no idea how to tune or play it. But, looks good on the mantle.

Balalaika Tuning




Since they come in different sizes, the tuning varies. However, you will notice that the 2 bottom (drone) strings (except for the bass) are the same, with the melody string a 4th up.
