Part of the "Doctor Zhivago" score (9)

I believe the answer is:

balalaika

(Other definitions for balalaika that I've seen before include "Instrument with three strings and a triangular body" , "Russian guitar-like instrument" , "Russian "guitar"" , "Foreign instrument" , "Russian triangular musical instrument" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
