Mentioned anecdotally by recording engineer Warren Huart in this August 1, 2012 Mix interview, archived on the Endless Analog website.

"I record mostly on a grand--I recorded our first two singles, 'How to Save a Life' and 'Over My Head,' on a Yamaha C7. But we're always challenging ourselves to make it sound a little more approachable. Actually on this third record we're starting to demo a lot of stuff out, and we haven't used the grand yet. We're trying to get away from it, to get a little less of the sweeping, epic sound."

"I write and practice a lot on my U1. It's the perfect standard-issue piano--standard in a good sense. Really consistent. We haul it around everywhere. We've beaten the crap out of it, and it's held up. It's like the Swiss Army Knife of pianos. We've also recorded with it, and it works great. It's got this great felt mute pedal for practicing--you push it down and it has a whole different sound. We've recorded with that, too. We love it."
