He is to use the instrument on the group's upcoming tour of Europe and said that he was looking forward to using it on his travels across the continent.
Barson was interviewed after using the Korg SV-1 stage vintage piano and said: "It sounds fantastic - very nice piano sounds.
"It's really excellent. I expect to be getting a lot of pleasure from this in the coming years."
