Balalaika is the most famous Russian folk musical instrument, every foreigner knows this word. The characteristic triangular body, three strings and the resounding strumming sound of a balalaika are known all over the world.
In the modern balalaika family there are five instruments differing from each other in pitch. The structure of all balalaikas is the same: three or four strings (less often six strings, that is, three doubles), a triangular shallow body, a neck of medium length. The dimensions of the instruments differ very much: the size of the body of the balalaika prima is approximately 580 mm, and the balalaika double bass reaches 1700 mm in length. Such a large instrument cannot be held in your hands, so it is more convenient to play on it standing up with the special spire attached to the corner of the case on the floor.
A characteristic method of playing the balalaika is “rattling,” that is, a blow to all the strings simultaneously. Also, a distinctive technique is the use of the left thumb for clamping the bass string. On the balalaikas, prima, second and alto are played with fingers, and with the help of a plectrum, when playing other types of balalaika, the mediator is more often used.
The balalaika is an integral part of the orchestra of Russian folk musical instruments, and the balalaika prima is also used as a solo instrument; translations of classical works of both foreign and domestic composers, contemporary songs and compositions are performed for it.
Over the past two hundred years, the balalaika has gained people's love and respect, has become not only an external easily recognizable sign of Russian culture, but also a truly folk instrument.
