Jordan Rudess, Keyboardist for Dream Theater

"The harpejji opens up a whole world of new musical possibilities. It's so cool to be able to take my developed keyboard technique and have my hands make direct contact with the strings! Although the layout is certainly different than a keyboard, it is one that makes total musical sense and is a source of fresh inspiration. This is an instrument that has not only captured my attention but also has triggered my imagination."
