Vangelis

In this image, from Vangelis' website, taken at Nemo Studios, one can see some of the equipment used by Vangelis, including a Yamaha CP-80.

Nemo Studio photo from early 80s. On this picture the grand piano manufacturer can be read. In an article the size of the Steinway grand piano is 9-feet, which is equal to Steinway model D. However I have no knowledge whether its manufactured in America or Berlin.

Vangelis used the Bösendorfer Imperial grand piano in the 70s, and didnt replace it with the Steinway D. He kept both. Steinway D in the control room of Nemo Studio and Bösendorfer Imperial grand in the live room.
