Steinway & Sons grand piano

Tony Banks was a user of Steinway & Sons acoustic grand pianos. He played at least a few different Steinways at different studios during his career with Genesis during the mid-to-late 1970s.

Genesis' own The Farm studio in Surrey also had a Steinway grand piano, later retrofitted with Forte MIDI interface. The piano had probably been around since the studio's inception in 1981, and was likely the one used by Tony on "No Reply At All" (one of the last Genesis songs to feature acoustic piano). Otherwise, he was largely engrossed into his Yamaha CP-70 electric grand piano and the chorused sounds he could produce from it. The Farm's Steinway was also used on Phil Collins' Both Sides album, for example on "Everyday" (blended with an Emulator piano via MIDI).
