Step into Abbey Road’s Studio Two
Mrs Mills Piano – Vintage Steinway, 3 Mic Signals & 60s Pop Magic for Iconic Tracks

Mrs Mills Piano immortalizes the legendary Steinway Vertegrand from Abbey Road Studio Two, famed for its bright, metallic tone (due to lacquered hammers) and use on iconic 60s tracks by The Beatles, The Zombies, and Russ Conway. Recorded with three signals — Close (vintage German valve mics), Room (Studio Two’s warm ambience), and Vintage (rare D19 mic through valve tape machines) — it delivers authentic 60s grit and charm. Five presets (Clean, 1968, Distant) and six controls (reverb, dynamics, hammers) let you sculpt tones from pristine to tape-saturated nostalgia.
