Unusual Turn for 1YA
A Balalaika Item SIMON PHILLIPOFF,' who = since leaving the Ukraine eight or nine years ago has been travelling round the world, will broadcast from 1YA on Wednesday, January 21. He is an adept exponent of the balalaika, the Russian national instrument, and as such gave an excellent performance from 1YA about ten months ago. The instrument is somewhat similar to a guitar with a triangular body, and it has three strings, two tuned to EB and the other to A. It is a difficult instrument to play and exponents such as Phillipoff are rarely met.
