   Zen Riffer's Blurbs
About me:
I came up with the idea while preparing an audition for Cirque de Soleil. I felt I needed to set myself apart from the other keyboard players in a visual way. 6 years later, after years of R&D, The Zen Riffer was born. It is a custom, handmade work of art that embodies movement, elegance and is quite simply a BAD ASS visual approach to the solo. It is a vertical keyboard standing at about 6 feet fall and customized to each player. It can be played horizontally, vertically or in screaming guitar "mode." It is wireless to 500 feet. (MIDI) It can be switched to any playing mode in 2 seocnds flat. It is magical in more ways than you know. It is lightweight and breaks down in 2 seconds for transport. Finally, a cool wireless controller that is addictive to play as well as providing a stunning visual for you and your audience. Welcome to my Dream, Welcome to the Zen Riffer Vertical Keyboard. Thanks for joining me in the revolution of making art an integral part of a musical performance. Peace2all, Charles Tentindo, Inventor www.zenriffer.com
Who I'd like to meet:
Cool Peeps, Musicans, Artists, Keyboard Artists, Gypsies at heart, People expanding the beauty of the world.

I love your work with the Zen Riffer epically getting rid of the overused, overabused, 80's term "keytar" and calling it a Solo Axe. love your work man! I look forward to seeing more!

Thanks for bringing such a wonderful piece of musical art into being.

Hi man, i just saw the Axe in Jordan's hands during DT's gig in Roma, the october 26th. The audience was on fire! An it was nice to see keys&strings together in the middle of the stage! You've done an awesome piece of art, all the best.

Whoever doesn't run out immediately and buy at least one Zen Riffer should be dragged into the street and beaten! Period!

The Zen Riffer is absolutely brilliant, Charles! ..and what is BEHIND your invention is far more valuable than any material object: your strife for a new, authentic, positive celebration of the good and true musical vibes that a competent musician can communicate and share with a equally-competent and open-hearted audience. All of this without taking the subject to a mere discussion of "skill" and "well-trained ears".

Open-hearted performances are getting more and more rare these days: we all know the discussion about "frustrated musicians" and how hard is for some of them to express themselves..however, there is a more dangerous situation nowadays that involves dysfunctional audiences: people in general do not appreciate the self-healing process of music performances anymore and this is a very dangerous poisioning disease for the mind.

I can feel the ZR not only is a great, expressive and versatile new musical instrument. Not only it is a great piece of art (the design is absolutely brilliant!)..it's willing to become an icon for that great musical climax we all miss (performers and audience) these days.

I just can't wait to play it! Glad to be a friend and supporter!

Now's the time..
Finally all the keyboardists of the world can really get a fabulous instrument to play amazing solos up front and in the limelight.
No other keyboard looks like the Zen Riffer. It rocks your mind and takes you to some futuristic place. You will boost your level of visibility of performance with this one. There is nothing like it, anywhere. Truly, a work of art...
Give a boost to your shows with this one!!
