New Delhi: A 17-year old boy broke the world record by playing 72 hours continuously on the keyboard in Tiruchirappalli.
A student of St John Vestry Higher Secondary school in the city, Robin Patricks started playing on the keyboard at 1000 hours (IST) on January 13 at a hotel auditorium.
His feat will be an entry into the Guinness Book of World Records.
The boy was monitored by a jury of noted personalities of the city and was also observed by a medical team during the play.
Patricks was on a liquid diet and developed low blood-pressure in between.
After the feat, he dedicated the honour to his favourite leader, President A P J Abdul Kalam.
The boy started his keyboard lessons when he was five and has since performed at over 500 concerts, winning many honours and prizes.
The earlier record in the Guiness Book of World Records was 48 hours of non-stop playing, Patricks told PTI.
