A particularly notable Vertegrand is owned by Abbey Road Studios in London.
It was frequently played by Mrs Mills, and as such became known as the "Mrs Mills" piano.

Abbey Road purchased the 1905 piano in 1953 for £404, equivalent to £11,363 in 2019.
Engineer Stuart Eltham had a Steinway technician modify the piano to create an "older" sound; the hammers were treated with lacquer to harden them to emulate the bright sound of a tack piano.
The piano is kept slightly de-tuned to further the old-time bar-room tone; as all but the lowest keys on the piano have more than one string, subtly detuning one of the strings per key gives a chorus effect.

This piano was used by the Beatles in the recording of songs such as "Lady Madonna", "She's a Woman", "I Want to Tell You" and "Penny Lane".
In addition, the band used it over the middle section of "Rocky Raccoon" and in the introduction to "With a Little Help from My Friends".

Dhani Harrison, son of Beatle George Harrison, recorded the soundtrack to the 2013 film Beautiful Creatures at Abbey Road with his band, thenewno2.
Noting the band's excitement about the prospect of using the piano, he said, "If you could see [the] piano's discography, it would put most artists to shame... This one piano, this poor little piano, has been on everything.
And they just leave her in the corner.
She's just sitting there in the corner.
So when we got there, we were like, 'Mrs. Mills!'"
