According to this Musician Magazine profile, "Sprout records drums and vocals in the laundry room and tracks piano and guitars in the adjacent garage, which usually holds a customized Hiwatt 100 head, as well as a Sovtek MIG 100 head, a Gibson Hawk, a Fender Dual Showman, a Musicman 212-HD amp, and an Ampeg SS-140C amp. In the garage, Sprout also keeps a Yamaha PSS-270 stereo keyboard and a George Steck upright piano, which belonged to his great-grandmother and is at least 80 years old."
