| Complete Balalaika Book/CD Set |
| The balalaika is most often associated with Russian folklore. In this comprehensive method book, concert and recording artist Bibs Ekkel shares his extensive knowledge of the balalaika as taught in Russia today. This 160-page book is divided into four sections: an extensive Foreword, the Tutor, A Brief History of the Balalaika, and a Repertoire Section. Unlike many Mel Bay books, the Complete Balalaika Book does not begin with the rudiments of music notation. Rather, the 20-page Foreword offer insights on the tunings of all the instruments in the balalaika family, hand positions, string sources and height adjustment, and chord shapes. The author even describes how to make a bass balalaika pick from shoe leather. The Tutor or instruction segment is written for the prima balalaika which is correctly played with the fingers only rather than with a pick. The Tutor jumps right in with exercises and tunes in quarter, eighth, and sixteenth-note values with occasional dotted notes and syncopation. Perhaps half of the music in this section is shown in both standard notation and tablature. A glossary of musical signs and Russian musical terms is included. A Brief History of the Balalaika is well written and nicely illustrated. Very few Mel Bay books contain such a comprehensive historical overview of the subject instrument. The Repertoire Section offers a valuable resource of Eastern European folk tunes. All but two selections in this section are written in both notation and tab with suggested guitar chords, the exceptions being an arrangement for balalaika and piano, and a balalaika orchestra score. More than simple melody chord leadsheets, these are the authors own arrangements of tunes for solo balalaika and balalaika orchestra. A companion CD with selections performed by the author completes this highly effective instructional package. 162 pages. |

| Kalimba Duets and Trios, Book |
Kalimba Duets and Trios book by Mark Holdaway. Have you gone through the Alto Fundamentals or Treble Fundamentals books already, and now you are looking for a new place to go? This is the place. The book starts with easy duets that most beginners will be able to pick up quickly. But if you are looking to be challenged, the tunes at the end of this book will be just right for you. Most songs here are for the Alto and Treble kalimbas, though there are also tunes for the Sansula, the Cloud Nine Marimbula, the Treblito, and a few for the Karimba, Pentatonic Kalimba, and 8-Note Kalimba. This kalimba book does not come with a CD, but you can download the KTabS files for this book for free (you will need to purchase KTabS or the KTabS reader to play them on your computer though). So, even if you don't have someone to play these with, you can get your computer to play one part and then play the other part yourself.
