Ustad Ranbir Singh (Bhaini Sahib) is a Taus player. Whilst in Ludhiana, Punjab, he was taught by 'Guru' Jagjit Singh. At the age of 5, 'Guru' Jagjit Singh began to teach Ranbir Singh the dilruba. When he had reached a higher stage of playing, he was directed to Ustad Surjeet Singh who taught him various styles of playing. He was then sent to Pandit Ram Narayan ji for sarangi and dilruba training. Pandit ji passed his experience on to Ranbir Singh. After this Ranbir Singh chose his instrument of choice, the taus. Since then Ranbir Singh has had a four year post at All India Radio station. He has also gone on many tours including to UK, USA, Canada, Germany and Australia. Ustad ji now is a tutor for the Raj Academy and resides in Leicester.
