Yep. Probably because he really wanted to play vilon: 1) He was born this way 2) He is left handed (obvious) 3) Violin bows are held with the dominant hand, he doesn't (can't).
Then I saw his hand Unbelievable As a left-handed violin player, I was often complaining about the lack of precision of my right hand, especially when it comes to hold the bow properly. This video shows me that nothing is impossible.
I know the feeling! I mean, when you see what Adrian does, all your complaints about your own difficulties seem trivial, you know? I mean, me: I can't bow well and I suck at fourth finger. Adrian: I have a stub right hand Me:...oh...

I taught a little boy who only had fingers on his right hand. Of course I taught him on a violin set up so that he used his fingers on the right. My student was fortunate enough to have a lesson with Adrian early on. He used a prosthesis which the technicians called a spatula to hold the bow. Adrian had a physical advantage because his right forearm is also shortened which helps the angle of the bow. My student had a full length arm but no fingers on his left hand. As the spatula prevented the wrist from bending the bow was always very crooked. Eventually my student developed an interest in singing and drumming and he is now at an Arts high school. I hope it worked out for you and your student.
Why were we looking at the back of the piano in those last beautiful seconds when I very much wanted to see him play those notes. This man has showed me that having shorter arms than one might want is not an issue, it won't stop you making something incredible. I have never been so wrong about anything. Beautiful.
Hot damn this guy's good. I didn't even realize he doesn't have a right hand. I was just listening to this minimized. With or without a right hand, this guy is one of the best violinists I've ever heard. Seriously mind-blown haha.
I even didn't realize that he has a deformed right hand until I saw the comments and looking closely! His playing really covers all his imperfectness. Bravo
I've had the opportunity to hear Adrian play live and he is always phenomenal. I've also met him and played for him as he used to have the same teacher as me. He is an amazing person and such an inspiration.
This is awe-inspiring. My heartfelt salute to Mr. Anantawan! For 3 months, I've actually been teaching a student with only one hand, only that hers is the RIGHT hand. I have been training her on open strings and wondering what else I could do in future. Now thanks to this video, I'm planning teach her ALL OVER AGAIN. I'll devise a "right-handed" violin and teach her left hand skills on her right. Meanwhile I'll consult my designer friend who could make a left-handed bow. God bless you, Adrian.
There's Perlman, then there's you. Wow!!! What an amazing inspiration you are to me as a fellow violinist. No matter what ,we must keep playing. You've touched me greatly my friend. God Bless you.
Wow this is certianly one or THE best perfomrance of this incredible song i have ever seen. Even with your handicap you have been able to make this song even better you have touched my heart by playing it like you have done. I hope that you will continue to do the same to other people and show them that nothing is impossible
Mr. Adrian, you are the most inspiring artist. I once had an accident that made playing violin difficult and painful. But seeing you play so beautifully was so meaningful to me on so many levels, especially since you pulled through with playing violin with so much more standing in your way than in my case. Thank you so very much for sharing your music. God bless.
Adrian, this is beautiful. I know that Ben is listening to this and enjoying every note. Thank you so much for being such a wonderful person. Ben was indeed fortunate to have met you.
Adrian Anantawan játéka annyira magával ragad, hogy igyekszem többször meghallgatni. Nagy örömöt szerez vele, a legjobbakat kívánom további munkájában a zene terén!
Какая работа души, тела, разума, а если подумать над тем, что обе руки могли бы быть здоровыми? Многим ведь дано, а мало кто развивает и хочет играть...Вибрато очень красивое, чистый звук! Как много эмоций...впечатляет! Дай Бог ему здоровья...
Beautiful playing! You are amazing. I could never have guessed about your hand if wasnt for the video! Well, I would probably have chosen brass in your place, but you got great imagination!
He may not have a right hand, but he has plenty of heart. Beautiful and moving rendition. You are an inspiration to me and to so many others. Bravo Adrian!
His surname, I thought he's Thai born Canadian. Lucky enough, he was born or might be moved there since a child, If he was in Thailand now, No opportunity would happened to him like that at all... goosebumps for his play, by the way......God bless you
Bloody hell indeed ! - The ciggy dropped out of my mouth when I realized why your bowing wasn't too straight - I was only looking for a violin and piano version because it has more of a duet chemistry ( too many cooks...) - I was puzzled how you could get such an intense and moving sound with that bowing - I'm going to have to end my many-months-long absence from FB just to share this Everybody should see and hear this - I don't think I will ever play another version again...
Гениальная игра!!! Сначала я не видела того кто играет, просто слушала и занималась своими делами, а потом не удержалась и подбежала посмотреть кто же так талантливо играет и была потрясена! Браво!!! Невероятно!!!👏👏👏
This is amazing.. I can't even play with both of my hands... and this man is disabled. I'm so jealous right now. People, give this man a round of applause
His mom was my tutor and I always heard him practicing. I play violin and my dad knew that I thought it was so cool that I could hear him playing and he walked by one time when my dad was dropping me off and my dad asked him to play a song for me and it was sooo cool. he's so amazing and passionate when he plays!
violin has been an enormous part of my life for fifteen years now and i have never been as touched as i was when i watched this. seriously, you're such an inspiration to me. don't stop being incredible.
Santo Dios!!!!! Este hombre es brillante, toca el violín sin tener una mano... BRAVO!!!! una canción que simboliza vida por un hombre que es un sobreviviente... BRAVO!
It's... it's perfect. I've listened to so many people play this song. But your rendition... it's a tragedy. It wrings the soul of pain and sorrow. Though normally the breathing would annoy me, for some reason it's like the violin has become your voice. It is one of true human struggle, true sorrow, and pain. Whatever you have gone through in your life gave you an empathic gift to play this. Technically it is perfect, emotionally it is profound.
Y estoy volviendo a llorar hasta el Alma se conmueve escuchando está bellísima Melodías.y sólo recordar lo que vivieron aquellos del Holocausto es algo muy extremecedor saber lo vivieron los que que sufrieron con las locuras de Hitler.
Franchement c'est un de mes violoniste préféré, il met beaucoup de sensibilités et d'émotions dans son jeu !!! Vraiment bravo à vous M. Anantawan, respect !
This digs really deep and pulls out emotion from the depths of my heart. Such a beautiful piece of music and played with such perfection and grace. Incredible and moving !
Mr. Anantawan: You have shown us that you do not have barriers. I am learning from you that now. It is my time to be strong and carry on as well. Congratulations for your lesson of life trough music. Thank you so much.
Your interpretation and remarakble ability in drawing such a beautiful sound from the violin is truly heart stopping. Your performance is full of so much colour and emotion. Bravo. I would go as far to say that your performance equalled that of Mr Perlman himself.
