Every regiment has its balalaika orchestra, and the music on the Czar’s yacht at Cowes was a balalaika band. This instrument is a kind of guitar, with only three strings, being made in several sizes, from that of a mandolin to something near a double bass. These records, which were made under the personal direction of the conductor, Mr. Andreeff, exhibit well the striking effects produced by these gifted players.
