The photo in question does not show Tony Banks using the Yamaha CP-30 Electronic Piano. Instead, it features the Roland RS-202, which Tony used extensively starting with the "A Trick of the Tail" album. He later replaced it with the Roland VP-330+ due to his preference for its sound over the Polymoog's strings. Notably, the string sound in "Down and Out" is produced by the RS-202.
