Sting Keyboards & Synthesizers

Although Sting isn't as well-known for playing keyboards as he is for his basses and guitars, he did occasionally work with keyboards and synthesizers during his career.

As a member of The Police, Sting's first synthesizer was a monophonic Minimoog Model D, which he purchased in 1979 and played with the band during the Reggatta De Blanc (part of it) and Zenyatta Mondatta tours. However, as Sting became more interested in polyphonic synthesizers and their capabilities, he replaced the Minimoog with the newer Oberheim OB-Xa 8-voice synth around the time of Ghost In The Machine.
