Welcome to Balalajka.com

This webpage is foremost dedicated to my school project, which will take place between fall 2010 and spring 2011. Basically, the project is to build an Electric Balalajka. Perhaps the page will develop and hold information about the balalajka later, other things that might be added are chords and musical sheets.

If you are my teacher (or just generally interested) and want to see the latest update, press "The Work", a link down to the left. After that simply look under logbook and choose an appropriate period.

This homepage is still under construction, but it will hopefully get better in time, I am going to spend some of my time after the project to improve it. I am thinking of both updating the code to make it smoother and to add a couple of sections with more general information about the balalajka, hopefully also some chords and tabs.
The page was last updated on the 2nd of April 2011.

Mostly to get some more color on the front page, here is a picture of my old balalajka. I bought it for 200 Swedish crowns, approximately €22 or $28. I believe that I bought it in January 2009.

I must say that it looks better in reality than in the pictures. It is perhaps not the best model as it does not have two octaves and it does not have a pickguard, but it has worked sufficiently well the years that I have used it.
