I am selling a Russian folk instrument, the balalaika (*^o^*) This instrument is characterized by its triangular body and three strings, and is a representative stringed instrument that symbolizes traditional Russian music. The body is marked with "МОСКВА-80 (Moskva-80)", which may indicate that it was a model made to commemorate the 1980 Moscow Olympics. This item has high decorative and collectible value. ● Design Features The red decorative pattern drawn on the front is a traditional decoration reminiscent of "Khokhloma," a unique Russian folk art, which enhances the simplicity and splendor of the balalaika. The triangular body is unique to the balalaika and has a presence that looks great as a wall-hanging interior decoration. ● Meaning of the Russian Characters "МОСКВА-80 (MOSKVA-80)" on the surface means "Moscow 80" = the 1980 Moscow Olympics. Although the actual date of manufacture is unknown, if it was a commemorative model at the time, it is now a rare item and has value as a collector's item. ● Size Total length: approx. 67cm Maximum width: approx. 43cm Thickness: approx. 12cm ● Condition I was able to produce sound in a simple test, but it may need adjustment for playing. There is some damage near the neck joint. Please understand that this is for display purposes and is sold as is. Please check the condition in the photos before purchasing.
