Yes! Rumor has it that he used a Model D and a Taurus on that one.

I remember him from keyboard magazine. I think he was he used all keyboards
I think he used a string synth. Maybe it was an arp sting ensemble or a solina think that’s what they were called. I remember how they sounded with that phase shifter. There’s quite a few companies that nail that sound now. I used to hear dream weaver on the radio all the time in the 70s. And of course the Rhodes. I also remember Richard Tandy keyboardist for ELO. Not certain but I think he used a poly moog and maybe a multi moog. I remember Steve Winwood used a prophet5 on Arc of a diver.
Richard Tandy was on the cover of keyboard magazine as well.

I think Sting used Moog Taurus pedals on walking on the moon. I remember the intro in the song I remember reading that
He used them. I’m not sure but didn’t Geddy Lee use them as well? I think GL used the Minimoog and an oberhiem. I thought I read that’s what he used on Tom Sawyer . I really like his Minimoog solo on that tune
