I can't say for certain whether it's a real piano or not, but there's nothing spectacular about it. (the vocal on the other hand...)

You should easily be able to replicate this sound with a VST sampler + some samples. (Vsampler + Trachtman, Halion + East West)

There are some pianos here.

Yeah really there's nothing particular special about this piano aside from being pretty well recorded. If I were you I'd hit up Sonic Reality's Piano Collection, the pianos all sound like they were actually recorded (as opposed to that crappy digital piano sound). I'm sure that between the sampled Stienways and Yamaha's on it, you'd be able to approximate that piano sound quite easily. Good luck.
