A.R. Rahman

A.R. can first be seen at :11s playing this Fingerboard. A.R. responds to a question from Variety about what instruments he plays in this article, to which he replies "Piano. I had never actually owned a piano until a few years back, just keyboards, until finally Yamaha gifted me a piano. Then I got a Steinway and a Bosendorfer. It’s such an addiction, to sit and play just to play. I also have the Continuum Fingerboard, which is such a fascinating instrument. Sometimes I’ll start playing it and not realize until it’s three hours later."
