Great-sounding piano and e-piano!
For those that are looking for an alternative for the Nord Stage, this is probably the best deal you can get, a high quality vintage keyboard with mostly manual confg. option to tweak on the fly, and one of the best sounding e-pianos and pianos on any keyboard.

It's the electric piano used in "(embrace) Boredom" and that we can see during the video.
He is playing this keyboard through the whole video The keyboard can be told by the tube all the way at the corner and the design of the whole keyboard
The keyboard Will Wiesenfeld plays, visible throughout. Had to do a bit of hunting; I've seen this keyboard series in person before but wanted to be totally accurate. I literally paused the video and counted the keys. So yeah.
