In this phenomenal live performance by TWO LANES - from Málaga, Spain in 2024, Leo can be seen playing a Nord Piano 5 (88key version). At 1:33 into the video you can distinguish the piano as the 88 key model as the lowest key (an "A" ") is visible. If it were the 73 key version the lowest key would be an E. At 1:40 the Nord piano 5 logo is clearly visible.
