Mrs. Mills: This is the name given to an ancient Steinway upright piano that resides at the world-famous Abbey Road Studios in England. This vintage instrument has a characteristic out-of-tune "honky-tonk" sound, and has been used on countless recordings (including some by The Beatles) over the past 50 years or so.

Our Customers Say...

“My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.”
Nick Moon, Portland, OR
