Post subject: | Dune: Part Two |
Hello! Long time Stick owner, very infrequent lurker and poster to the forums. I just watched Dune: Part Two, which features roughly 10 seconds of a baliset, the fictional instrument that was played by Patrick Stewart in Dune (1984) and was constructed out of a modified Stick. The new movie’s baliset looks different, but bears strong similarity to the NS Stick. I could not find any confirmation or evidence of this online, so wanted to come here and hear thoughts. Here is a picture of Josh Brolin holding the instrument in a deleted scene, the image at the bottom is allegedly concept artwork (the body is not shown in the film, so I can’t tell for sure): [url][url] https://www.reddit.com/r/dune/s/jNVVAjPLnj[/url] Very curious about this, but could totally be wrong. Let me know your insights! |

Don't both images show too many strings for an NS/Stick? The instrument in the inset image has a very noticeable radius. The instrument used in the film might have a slight radius, or it could just be the lighting? |

I didn't see Dune Part II. On the other side I know a duo from Ottawa and Tom is playing Baliset. I think he's one of the best player. This duo is just great and I love the tone of this Baliset. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bx6kvNkSE0s |

I guess that since it originated in a text based work of fiction Baliset is a very "Humpty Dumpty" word? Quote: When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’ |

9 strings !! hmmm..... maybe I should have gone with the mod I was making to my 8 string Railboard when I briefly converted her briefly to 9 strings, to fill that gap in the center..... Here's a really dumb question, is the instrument being questioned by Bman324 even a real instrument ??? I ask because I'd love to have one. I just did a search, and only came up with this: https://www.tommcmahon.ca/baliset/ |

I believe the word was coined by Frank Herbert. https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Baliset The descripition in the book Dune allows scope for interpretation, hence the variations is what people think it should look like when trying to illustrate it or make a 'real' one. I guess that Tom McMahon just thought it would be a cool name for his presumably custom built tapper? |

Yeah ... don't know. Twenty(ish) years back I recall someone on StickWire lobbying heavily to officially refer to the Stick as a baliset. I have to admit that the very idea of it made me cringe. Strikes me a little as grown adults running around with brooms between their legs telling people they play quidditch. |
