三、阅读判断sort out his feelings
The balalaika, also called the “Russian guitar”, is a traditional Russian musical instrument. I
t has a long neck, a wooden triangle-shaped(三角形) body and strings. It is usually used to play Russian music by plucking(弹拨) the strings with fingers or a pick.
Russians like the balalaika. If a Russian moves to live or work abroad, he will probably take a balalaika with him. When he feels lonely and sad, he will play it to cheer himself up.
The balalaika was first played by the poor in Russia. At that time, balalaikas were made by the players themselves. They were rough(粗糙的), simple and cheap with different numbers of strings, from two to even six. Later a Russian musician Vasily Andreev (1861-1918) improved the balalaika. He created a whole family of balalaikas of different sizes, all with three strings. The smallest balalaika is called Prima. It is 60—70cm long. The biggest, Contrabass, is almost 2 meters high with a leg to sit on the floor. Andreev founded the first balalaika band in the world, mainly using balalaikas to perform. He gave concerts at the Universal Exposition in Paris in 1889, which was a great success.
