The photo above shows them using an 88 key model at Lollapalooza 2015, what they have been using at most of their shows as of late. Sometimes it is put into a fake acoustic piano shell.

moreI use the Korg SV-1 73 (red) because it is engaging - nothing gets in the way of just playing. No buttons, no menus, just perfect sound, like a mechanical electric piano. The keybed feels like a real EP too, as if it is really mechanical. Nothing more real besides a real fender rhodes, but then you only get that one single sound - this has amazing Wurlies and Pianos as well.
It has SV in the name c: But i only use it when working with synths.
I love this keyboard. It's easy to dial in great vintage tones using the knobs instead of editing patches and deep menu systems that are frustrating to navigate for a casual player. Plug this thing into a Twin Reverb or any other old tube amp and enjoy.
Love all of the sounds, love the retro look, and absolutely LOVE the feel of the keys. Only downfalls for me are the gate on the amp settings and the weight. Two things that has been SUPER clutch are the stereo inputs and stereo XLR outputs.
Love the weighted keys, cool lights, brilliant sounds, and honest playability
Korg SV-1 Vintage Keyboard (mainly for live show but sit in the studio) The keys weight is perfect for me. Great for Rhodes and piano sounds.
