    It appears to be Russian.

    I just had a Russian co-worker translate it.

    Manufactured in the city of Lvov (it's in Ukraine)

    National Musical Instrument.

    Similar instruments are on eBay weekly and are not highly desirable.

    If you enjoy playing it that is all that really matters. Best of luck with it.
