Russian folk song The Peddlers, also known as Korobushka. A video tutorial from ibalalaika.com. Please visit the ibalalaika.com/ for more video tutorials.
This video is one of the reasons I got a balalaika, and it was the first song I learned how to play three years ago. Now I have to perform a song for my Russian class tomorrow, and I think I'm going to play this!
Got a balalaika yesterday. From my Belarusian family for my 26th birthday. It's different then the guitar I've been playing for 9 years now. I like it. Looking forvard to learning how to play. I pretty much got the hang of this song. Knowing how to play a string instrument sure helps.
I first heard this in the video game "Tetris" as a kid and never knew that it was a folk song. This was really enjoyable and I learned something new. I grew just a little more as a human being. Thank you.
Good day Sir Alex Siniavski, I like the music they play so flawless and easy to listen to, if you could I would like to me to facilitate the korobushka scores for accordion, I like the music of your country. I hope I answered. a hug. Miguel
Wondering if you play all steel strings (sounds like it), or a mix of steel and nylon? Some sources say the TRADITIONAL way is nylon (gut) for the E strings and steel for the A. When I pick up an instrument, I like to play it the traditional (old fashioned) way, not some watered-down modernized/westernized way. Your insight is much appreciated. Whatever strings I use, this will likely be the first song I learn, so thanks for the video!
On Ebay, you can get a cheap, plastic-bodied balalaika new. It's being listed as "High Quality Balalaika" and it's pretty rugged for gigging. It's made by Trembita, a respectable Ukrainian guitar maker, and it goes under the model number 'B-61.' Although it falls short compared to professional concert balalaikas, it is a million times better than the Soviet souvenirs being sold on eBay (which I sadly fell for) and emailing a dodgy Russian music store. And, it doesn't sound that bad for being made of 75% plastic! Hopefully the shipping prices from Kiev to the UK aren't too bad.
Just get a nice vintage one, make sure it is in good condition though, they tend to just be nicer than the newer ones but that's just my personal opinion
@SpannerLytic I got a brand new 3 string Balalaika from ebay for £130 and it's a wonderful instrument. To pay less than that you're going to have to get a second hand one, which has its risks so do some research first. Happy hunting!
+mrsebumatica Actually I don't think the original Tetris had any music. This song comes from the Nintendo version of Tetris. (Although there are more versions of Tetris than I have leaves lying in my back garden. BTW Anyone want to come round and pick them up?? :-))
Please correct me. If I am wrong. Shouldn't the proper term be ... Uzbek (if ethnicity) - Of the Uzbek people / tribe / ethnic group. Uzbeki (if nationality) - Of / from the land / culture of Uzbekistan. Uzbekistanian sounds like Pakistanian or Iranian. Instead of Pakistani or Irani.
I took a ukulele, pulled the g string out of the way, and re tuned it and it works like a charm. Greetings from Michigan, USA

I don't think it has the same acoustics

Secret Forreddit very good comrade
I remember cutting my finger and bleeding badly at my first balalaika lesson. I love this bloody instrument to death.
Anna Katerina Nekrylova that's fucking metal!
It was only bloody because you didn't have the caluses yet xD
Died later due to blood loss.
Russia is not A easy my friend m
Was your balalaika made in broken glass or wtf?
WE DIE HERE. WE STAND HERE
IT HAS BEEN AN HONOR!
Father!
You're right. I'm English and I also like both, hence why I own a bouzouki and a balalaika.
この動画の影響でバラライカ（BALALAIKA）を購入しました。日本に住んでおりますが、こういう動画のおかげでバラライカを弾けるようになりました、ありがとうございます！

I wish I had time to learn to learn the balalaika. Sadly, my job is very demanding. Perhaps I will take it up when I retire.

Где взял "налима"?
Tetris let's go!
This is what the tetris theme is!
Can anyone suggest a good Balalaika for use in a gigging situation. Thank you from the Scottish highlands
Well it can be used in folk music, as well as folk metal

+senorverde09 Do they still ship to the UK after NATO put sanctions on Russia?
Shmuel P they do. I live in America and order stuff from russia ('not music) and it comes. Just a bit lengthy
Just get a nice vintage one, make sure it is in good condition though, they tend to just be nicer than the newer ones but that's just my personal opinion

It is him playing
Is korobushka the same as korobeiniki?
Did anybody else realize that's the Tetris theme?
Yes!
Well, Tetris was made by a Soviet programmer, so you can connect the dots rather easily to find that the songs in Tetris are Russian folk songs.
thats why we're here
i did know but it took me some time
well there reads korobeiniki, and tetris theme is korobeiniki 8 bit
Song at the start please!!!?

What strings are better for balalaika,steel or nylon?
It depends on personal preference. Nylon may be easier to play, but steel will last longer
1st is steel, top 2 nylon only.
How do I tune it if I buy one? 🤔

Did this song or Teris come first?
And does this song have a lyric, if so could you post it?
TheAllroth uh, this song came WAY before tetris
TheAllroth and lyrics in Russian, you can find them easily online
А это балалайка Налимова?
This song has been around LONG before the guy who made tetris was born, so don't go giving tetris credit for the song. :)
tetris song
well it was a russian game XP

What is korobushka?????
Is this played on a 3 or 6 string balalaika?

Tetris!
Please correct me. If I am wrong.
Shouldn't the proper term be ...
Uzbek (if ethnicity) - Of the Uzbek people / tribe / ethnic group.
Uzbeki (if nationality) - Of / from the land / culture of Uzbekistan.
Uzbekistanian sounds like Pakistanian or Iranian.
Instead of Pakistani or Irani.
@icarusfoundyou ha! i won a bid and got an old 70s brilliant quality one for 35! :P lol
sounds like kirby gourmet race
