Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

The Russian gusli is a version of the medieval psaltery and how you tune it will depend on its size - obviously shorter strings need to be tuned higher than longer strings!.

See http://www!.gusli!.narod!.ru/eng/trade!.html - it may be worth contacting the gusli maker at the address given at the bottom of that page; he will be able to advise you on the correct tuning for your instrument!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
