"And I’ve got a Kurzweil PC2 that I use sounds out of and as a controller as well."
Justin Hayward of The Moody Blues owns and has used the Kurzweil PC2 synthesizer onstage at numerous shows. This model features innovative sounds, such as a triple strike stereo grand piano and lush stereo strings, along with Kurzweil's KB-3 modeled tone wheel organ mode. The instrument is listed on Reverb, confirming its connection to Hayward.
Garson's stage rig is elegant and powerful. His piano is a Yamaha GranTouch Disklavier digital piano. "They put a real piano action in there," says Garson. 'Feel is really important to me, and it feels right." Atop the GranTouch sits a Yamaha Motif 8, to the left of which are a fully pumped-up Kurzweil K2600 and the remote for an offstage KSP-8 effects processor. A pair of M-Audio BX8 monitors flank the piano and on its music rack is a Freehand Music Pad Pro, which holds Garson's charts. Yamaha P90 and Kurzweil PC2 digital pianos are placed offstage.
