Description

Step back in time to the 1980 Moscow Olympics. Since the balalaika is the most known Russian instrument, they made a bazillion of these for sale by street corner vendors during the event. We put new strings on and did some light set up to this, to get it ready for you. The instrument has some wear to it’s body, mostly on the back/sides. The top does have a few impressions and the bridge had been in the wrong place a long time, leaving a suntan mark. Other than that, it’s just light wear to it. There are 2 labels inside of it, but they are in Russian. The instrument plays easily and sounds surprisingly nice. In very good condition.
