- a Hohner D6 Clavinet (often used in sync with a wah-wah pedal),
- a Moog Little Phatty (sometimes switched out for a Prophet '08),
- and a Yamaha CS-60 polyphonic synthesizer.
- Since 2009, Page has been using a Moog Liberation (formerly owned by James Brown) when playing Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein" with Phish
- In 2010, Page brought back his 106p Wurlitzer electric piano to his live rig
- In 2011, he brought back his theremin for the first time since 1997
In the past, his rig has included a Moog Source, Alesis Andromeda A6 & a Yamaha Motif.
Page also plays the melodica though not with Phish.
The Rhodes as well as the clavinet are sometimes played through a Maestro Phase Shifter (recently changed to an MXR Phase 90).
Page played bass on Phish's one-off cover of Little Feat's Willin' & the Phish original Rocko William, though it has not been performed since 1997. He also played upright bass during the band's acoustic bluegrass numbers, though not since 1994.
He also plays drums on the Phish song Walfredo.

Famous quotes containing the word instruments:
“I rejoice that America has resisted. Three millions of people, so dead to all the feelings of liberty, as voluntarily to submit to be slaves, would have been fit instruments to make slaves of the rest.”
—William Pitt, The Elder, Lord Chatham (1708–1778)
“We are all instruments endowed with feeling and memory. Our senses are so many strings that are struck by surrounding objects and that also frequently strike themselves.”
—Denis Diderot (1713–84)
“Water, earth, air, fire, and the other parts of this structure of mine are no more instruments of your life than instruments of your death. Why do you fear your last day? It contributes no more to your death than each of the others. The last step does not cause the fatigue, but reveals it. All days travel toward death, the last one reaches it.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
