She also previously used a Fender Rhodes, Hohner Pianet, and an ARP String Ensemble. 21st century synthesizers can emulate most of the sonic textures provided by more vintage keyboards, so as a matter of convenience, it's more ergonomic and practical to carry fewer keyboards onstage now compared to the 1970s. Having a second keyboardist further lessened the burden of Christine covering every little keyboard sound heard on the studio recordings.
yes the upright piano was rolled on and off stage as needed... I think it was just used on Sara and Not That Funny.... but someone can correct me if there were others....

The grand was just on Songbird, no??
