The Zen Riffer is a custom, hand made, wireless-midi, vertical keyboard controller, which can be configured to play sitting, standing or in ‘guitar’ mode in less than 2 seconds flat. It’s, without doubt, one of the most revolutionary keyboards made till the date and breathers kinda new life into the music industry. Charles Tentindo, the creator of this splendid work of art, didn’t use the 80’s term ‘keytar’ for the instrument. Rather, they call it Solo Axe. The masterpiece is a vertical keyboard standing at about 6 feet fall and customized to the liking of each player. Wireless to 500 feet (MIDI), the Zen Riffer Solo Axe is lightweight and breaks down in 2 seconds for transportation. The salient features include 25 full sized keys (full 88 key range with octave switches), 8 MIDI control knobs, and 3 different playing modes. Pricing for the Solo Axe starts at around $3,900.
