[frescophonics]

My niece stops crying whenever I sing this song. Now that I've cracked her password, my family starts listening to Beirut.

Is anyone else hearing a bit of off beat playing later on in the song? Zach seems to mess up in a couple places.

[mersault002]

@MisterPenguinMusic Indeed, Zach is the one taking down the tempo when he changes the facture of the chords in 2:05, then the drums try to get back on tempo and that's why it sound a little messy when it crosses with the ukulele.

[ahhhhhDE]

@MisterPenguinMusic trumpet messed up too. haha.

[steeshlad]

at benicassim festival this year beirut clashed with the main stage, but as soon as mumford and sons finished i totally legged it to try and catch as much of zach before the strokes started, i arrived just as this was starting. so worth it. amazing song! especially live.

yeah its a six string uke

[jowallen420]

what instrument is zach playing? that's not a standard ukulele, maybe its a six string uke...

[jowallen420]

@gabrielshark85 I have a baritone and tenor ukulele and the baritone doesn't have six strings(the difference is only in size and tone for the different types, i play the ukulele and have owned a few). it must be a six string uke or a variation on it like the greeks have or there is also a south american instrument thats very similar that has five strings. thanks for tryin to answer tho i appreciate it.

[lfprojects]

ukuleles have 4 strings. this is totally a guitalele.

[niktp]

@lfprojects it's a six string ukulele. the chord shapes are the exact same as a four string uke's would be for F and A. 6 string ukuleles have two octave strings. Not sure which strings have the octaves though.

[gabrielshark85]

@jowallen420 I believe it is a tenor ukulele, which is a bit bigger thant the soprano and the concert.

[supernoraa]

@jowallen420 It's a six string kamaka tenor.
