I had to look this up. Found this video and it’s a great sounding instrument.When I saw that I immediately thought of the saz.
It looks like I’m wrong according to Dune wiki…
BALISET: Nine-stringed musical instrument, lineal descendant of the zithra, tuned to the Chusuk scale and played by strumming. Favorite instrument of Imperial troubadours.
It is something to think about. In recent years, I’ve found myself wanting to expand a little away from just the guitar (I now have a couple of bouzoukis and a keyboard). A saz would make a very nice addition. I’d also buy a Chapman Stick in a heartbeat if I thought I could become a decent player (it looks a pretty daunting instrument to play)@Foxbat the saz is a delight to play. You can get a good quality one for £250. Really lovely instrument.

Villeneuve has said that he would like to do Dune Messiah, because that would finish Paul's arc. But it wasn't official, just an off-the-cuff remark. He does mention the books after...but he said they get more 'psychedelic' and much more difficult to try and put into a movie.So if the second part is a success, has the studio expressed any interest in adapting more Dune books?
