Balalaika!


The balalaika is a stringed instrument of Russian origin, with a characteristic triangular body and 3 strings (or sometimes 6, in pairs).

Here is a video of a russian folk song played on two balalaikas - a bass and a prima.



And here you can see, that balalikas are not only about folk songs.
