It’s been a long hard road but I’m finally making some 1/2 way reasonable looking instruments.

Well done Andos. Looks to be a difficult instrument to build but I think you nailed it.

That is very cool! I've only seen/heard a balalaika a couple of times but I really love the more regional/ethic-specific instruments.

Thanks for the positive comments.
When I see the exemplary standard of workmanship here, I have a lot of improving to do yet!
Thanks to all those who freely give there skills and knowledge here. Without you lot I'd still be blundering around in the dark.
