Aha, and now I know that Oleg's 3-string bassalaika is tuned E-A-D. 👍 Дело в шляпе. ))

@@bikerhighmiler8998 I assume that Oleg has it, and it's in Russia with him. But honestly I don't know. I'll have to ask Igor or Zhenya next time I see them. And technically I made a mistake--the 3-stringed instrument in this video is a contrabass balalaika. The "bassalaika" is the 4-string instrument currently on tour with Igor and crew. (Zhenya set me straight on this last month.) :)

@@bikerhighmiler8998 He sure did! I play a 5-string bass and can't do half of what Oleg does with only 3 strings...it means that I'm only 3/10 the bassist he is I guess. :D His basslines are so challenging to learn, even with two extra strings at my disposal!
