The balalaika belongs to a family of lutes originally developed in Central Asia.  A Russian nobleman, Vasili V. Andreyev, standardized the balalaika by creating a range of sizes with standard tunings.  The balalaika has three strings and can be found in several sizes: contrabass, bass, alto, secunda, prima, and piccolo.  The most commonly played is prima which is the size (27") of this instrument.  This quality balalaika has classic triangular shape with finger guard at the apex and  includes a very good case.  The instrument has a variety of materials in the construction including rosewood and pine.
