Description: Ilya Efimov – Balalaika prima – a library of balalaika sounds for the KONTAKT 5 sampler. The balalaika, like the accordion, is considered a symbol of Russian culture and the Russian people. The balalaika is used as an ensemble, orchestral or solo concert instrument. In the modern orchestra of Russian folk instruments, the balalaika family is represented: prima, second, viola, bass and double bass. Of these, only the prima is a solo instrument. We present it to your attention. Balalaika – prima. The most common techniques for producing sound on a balalaika are: clanking, pizzicato, vibrato, tremolo, rolls, and some “guitar” techniques.
