There’s not much information available for this YouTube video. Not even the name of the musician. Maybe some Neatorama reader knows? Anyway, it’s a clip showing a guy doing an impressive performance on a balalaika – a Russian string instrument.

    I sort of “collect” instruments and now I found another one I would love to learn how to play. Thanks for the great video!

    Anyone else reminded of Rodrigo Y Gabriela? Could make a mighty interesting performance if they all got together, maybe with that crazy chromatic accordion player (this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVbuIZ-5-8o)
