Someone with a Russian last name corrected me privately (and I hope he'll take credit here for the helpful correction) to say that what I transliterated as Ch is not that, but Y, and that the three letter abbreviation, RYB, is a common one that stands for ruble. Does anyone know what the exchange rate was then? I don't think I've ever seen a musical instrument before with the price stamped onto it permanently!

And, Plonk, thank you for the additional information. I didn't know that the Cryllic alphabet originated in Bulgaria. Gee whiz, and I thought the Russians invented everything! [That's a worn-out old joke for those of us old enough to remember the Cold War....]
