Does anyone know of any good resources reguarding balalaika building? I've been interested in these for a while, and would like to try a project.

I love that site. I would love one day to be able to make a Baroque guitar or the Martinez salon guitar from their plans. Maybe I should quit my job to learn lutherie. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
