Balalaika is a Russian musical instrument, surly the most popular in the country. It is a three-stringed metal lute characterized by its almost flat, triangular body, with a small resonance opening near the top vertex of the top and a long and narrow neck.

The first balalaikas built in Russia date back to 1715. However, it is known that before that date they already existed, and their strings were made of animal gut. In addition, they were tied around the neck so that they could be adjusted by the musician at will. Originally, it was performed only to accompany songs and dances. Today they are very common in orchestras that perform modern arrangements of folk motifs.
