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. :)
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! <3 <3 <3
@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.....
i'm in love

What is this magical instrument? Can anyone help me out with this one?
minnajoyce 2 years ago
I believe it's a hammer dulcimer. I've never heard anyone play it like this. But no one sings like Basia either.

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

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