need a well made prima

[Liesse Langlois]

balalaika. Not a tourist instrument, but a master one. Any
recommendations? Would like the name of a master in Russia, or
Germany. Or of a well known manufacturer of quality instruments.
Thanks!

I would also like to know some makers to contact. It seems very hard
to find a 'real' instrument vs. a beat up one on eBay or cheap
playthings.

Thank you for any leads on where to buy good quality balalaikas.
