Aivar Arak is one of the most valued kannel players throughout Estonia. He plays in culture houses, dance clubs, folk festivals and everywhere in between – by himself or accompanied by his father or son, as the tradition of kannel playing runs in the family. Aivar plays on a full-sounding, powerful instrument made by Osvald Rossmann. He plays with a firm hand and good sense, making it very enjoyable to dance to his music.
