Lionel did play sax in the early years but he mainly played piano when it came to the ballads. All the other stuff (clav,synth,Moog) was handled by Milan Williams (RIP). Milan was great in his own right. He even played rhythm guitar (live) on a song or two.

"Machine Gun" was Milan's tour-de-force.
