Why kind of keyboard does Paul play live?
-
The keyboard that's in the magical mystery paint job upright piano looking thing. From rear pictures it looks like it could be a Nord. I think it's red and Nord's are some of the best/more expensive professional keyboard's in the world. Does anyone know for sure? Does anyone know what piano setting Paul uses for Hey Jude and Lady Madonna? Referring to the Back In The U.S. CD.

It's the Magic Piano

I read somewhere, in a keyboard board, I think, that he uses 2 kind of keyboards. One is just the same Wix uses, Yamaha Motif 7. That is some keyboard with weight added to the keys, so it's got a similar feel that playing a piano. I think that's the one Paul uses for piano songs he does on keyboards, like Hey Jude. Then I remember Paul uses to play live a different keyboard too, some with normal keys, not weighted. The info I read was from the Back in the US tour. Wix plays a Motif 7 and the one above is a ... Korg I think or so... I guess that's the not weighted one Paul plays on the Fool On The Hill, For No One, Carry That Weight, etc part. For Let It Be, Hey Jude and Lady Madonna I think he plays a weighted one, the Motif 7. I don't know what kind of setting. I'm not sure about all this but I think there must be some video with some cam filming Paul from the back while playing keyboards so you can see the exact model he plays.

A Kurzweil PC2X is inside the "magic piano". It is clearly visible in the "Back in the US" DVD.

I think Glastonbury Hey Jude offers a fair glimpse at what's inside the 'magic piano' box (although I'm not well versed enough to know what I'm looking at...first time at around 1:38 or 1:39 of the video below and then several times after):
The earlier 'magic piano' (circa 1989/90 and 93) is a real piano I think)...if you move forward in the video below to 'The Long and Winding Road' and/or 'Maybe I'm Amazed', I think you can see what I mean: -
