One of the reasons I truly love the banjo is because it harkens back to much simpler times, when all you needed to make music was a set of picks, a candle or two, 120 volts of electricity & a cathode biased tube amplifier with racing stripes.  1938 Gibson ERB-150 Electric Banjo

@owlice @MarcAndreHam This looks like what we call a “lap harp.” Not traditionally a Russian instrument but yours probably just happens to be made there. A few companies make song cards you can slide under the strings. The ones we sell are tuned to a G major scale.

I’ve owned this for a number of years and love it, but aside from knowing that it’s Russian, I don’t know what it is, nor do I know how to tune it. Help!

We loved @Square as our cc processor until today - acct suspended with zero notice, @SQSupport would not give reason over phone, said we'd hear in 3-5 biz days, rep hung up on us. Unacceptable!

I've called 25 music stores today asking if they carried or could recommend were I could find one of these. Not one store had even heard of the instrument. Sure. it's obscure. I don't blame anyone for not recognizing it. Not having ever heard of it? Do you know it?
