According to the book Queen: The Early Years by Mark Hodkinson, Freddie Mercury used a white C. Bechstein IV grand piano for the recordings of A Night at the Opera, the UK tour following the album's release, and the music video for Bohemian Rhapsody. It is reportedly the same piano that Paul McCartney played on the recording of The Beatles' song Hey Jude, as well as the one Rick Wakeman used for David Bowie's album Hunky Dory.
The centrepiece of Arnalds' studio is his 1903 Bechstein piano. "It was just restored,” he points out, "so everything inside of it is kind of brand new. But the whole body has the character of a 110-year-old piano.
"...miked with pairs of Coles 4038s or Neumann KM84s, is central to most of Ólafur Arnalds' recordings."
In an interview with Headphone Commute, Hania Rani mentions her studio setup includes two acoustic Hoffmann pianos, specifically the line T for Upright and P for Grand.
