Good night ! I increased the distance between the first and second strings. The nail on the index finger is not large because the string wears it down. If you practice every day, your finger does not touch neighboring strings

Agree ! But this is good for a short time. Unfortunately, the sound of the balalaika is changing. It becomes bad, softness and warmth disappear.

@@DmitriyKosyakov That would be unless you had super super light gauge strings. But if you use a Felt Pick, it'll sound better. I played the Balalaika w/ a Felt Pick & it sounded quite lovely.

@@DmitriyKosyakov But holding the Balalaika w/ a Strap keeps it in playing position

@@DmitriyKosyakov But what about on the Giant Contrabass Balalaika? The Giant Contrabass Balalaika is meant to be played w/ a Pick & always sounds great w/ a Pick because of how low it plays. I think a Pick on Balalaika sounds better w/ the lower pitched ones.

@@DmitriyKosyakov Actually some Balalaikas have 6 strings arranged in 3 pairs.

Благодарю ! Есть интересный материал еще на несколько роликов . Надеюсь найду возможность записать и смонтировать ))
