HibOO d'Live : Basia Bulat "The Shore"

[@MH-bm7jq]

I watch this video every few months. Whenever I feel like feeling :,)

[@Galaxxy9]

Spellbound each time I listen to this.

[@annemarie8848]

this is my favorite version of this song, i feel it best captures the essence of the song. it is so hauntingly beautiful

[@MadiBucket]

She is quite honestly the most beautiful woman ever. She inspires my own music so, so, so much.

[@CircaCreature]

pleasant to watch as much as hear- between her skill with that instrument and the smile on her face

[@FrauKaminski]

Your voice, as your face, are very sweet! Congratulations. I was there in 2010, and the magic of the place was evident!!!

[@mauricebuchleitner]

Just. Beautiful, beautiful music

[@ICOLLECTBASEBALL]

This is so beautiful. So talented...

[@LeRoi715]

Basia we are proud of you! Cheers!

[@murderhesays]

this is actually a pianoette, for all of those who are wondering what the instrument is. the autoharp is a chorded zither and, as you can see, this has no chords. however, it belongs in the zither family with the autoharp. :)

[@cleodello]

Beautiful, just wow.

[@sashalito]

i love this version so much more than the album...though the gang vocals are nice too

[@xfgnxfgnxfgn]

must be a nightmare 2 restring. beautiful music. hammer dulcimmer is everyone agreed???? very nice thank u gal #

[@squito9000]

Great artist. Great video. Thank you!

[@gilknutson]

@ZachMathe Finding a Pianoette is challenging. They were all built starting around 1916 give or take 5 years. There is an article on Wiki about them. They are rare, and finding one that doesn't need work is even rarer. One went on eBay for $25, and another sold for $40 on some other auction cite. Definitely an odd, but appealing instrument, especially with Basia playing it.....

[@chaitaiji2010]

nice song and you have a great voice

[@FrauKaminski]

Please, dear, do you know why this fantastic and magical place doesn´t exist anymore?... :(

[@draver21]

The instrument is in the zither family. I can't remember the exact name though. That's gonna bother the hell out of me now.

[@buddyholly28]

When I saw her play last week she called it a hammered harp. Hers was made in 1915!

[@peacetachios]

i'm in love

[@OGBeachboy]

yay!

[@MaudeGodbout]

Love it!

[@echopractic]

I believe it's a hammer dulcimer. I've never heard anyone play it like this. But no one sings like Basia either.

[@mwdiers]

@echopractic No, it's an autoharp. A hammer dulcimer is very different.

[@chuckochs]

Great to hear / see someone actually playing this antique instrument today. What place is this? I see lots of other "obsolete" instruments hanging around.

[@feedchristine]

Actually, the instrument is a Pianoette. similar looks, but the hammered dulcimer uses two hammers and doesn't have that bar contraption she's using with her left hand.

[@kngtaco]

Could someone tell me what time signature this is in?

[@modeldaughters]

i always love basia but damn i double-love this !! that thing (autoharp? dulcimer? custom something-or-other?) is slightly out of tune and it adds the most gorgeously haunting noire weight to the song - uberbravo!

[@ZachMathe]

@buddyholly28 where can i get one of these??? im looking all around on google and cant find anywhere that sells them

[@underated17]

Good question. Have you found one?

[@itisosama8]

UWO!!!!!!

[@Madelyn910]

I love you.

[@juanelourquidi]

@InfernoplexTom no, she´s the best of the best

[@dbajpeyi]

Its also called a santoor i think

[@MsNegative24]

It's a pianoette. It's a pretty little instrument :)

[@JackRabbitsRabbit]

I believe it's actually a hammered dulcimer, an equally beautiful instrument :)

[@buddyholly28]

@ZachMathe I have absolutely no idea!

[@FrauKaminski]

@lehibooparis Yes, dear... I discovered it today... :(

[@fukuwhale]

camera work is not fitting. i just want to see her and the way she smiles

[@underated17]

I love how the video is edgy and moves around showing Basia playing and singing and her instrument and even the beautiful room full of instruments. This video is art.

[@finnmcginn9931]

​@@underated17well said, I agree

[@underated17]

@@finnmcginn9931 Thank you!
