Pete Peterson Any balalaika players out there? (16) RE: Any balalaika players out there? 01 Nov 99

I had the honor of playing (occasionally!) with Sasha Polinoff until he died last year at 91-- and confirm that the tuning is the doubled AEE previously mentioned. Best keys, therefore, are genetic: D and A. I would not have believed it possible to get so many things out of a three-string instrument had I not met Lorraine Lee Hammond some years before.
