Keyboard used on Tower of Song?

Post by GaryF »

Hi. I hope someone can answer this question.

What keyboard does Leonard use on "Tower of Song"? I know it's a Technics, but I want to know the exact model.

There is a famous article that refers to his "Technics KN3000", but this is a later model that was made in the 90s. I want to know what model he used on the actual recording of "Tower of Song". And, I'm assuming it's the same keyboard he currently uses when he plays the song live on stage?

Thanks for your help!

It seems that we don't really know, otherwise you would have had an answer a long time ago.

But what I know is that he played with one finger. :lol:

Ask Leif Bodnarchuk on his Cohen tour blog "No Ideas" or on Twitter. He'll definitely know!

I made a point of checking this last night at the outstanding performance at the O2 in London.

I'm pretty certain it was a Technics K350.
