Wurlitzer electric piano

One of a series of electromechanical stringless pianos trademarked the Electronic Piano and referred to by musicians as the 'Wurly', manufactured and marketed by the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company of Corinth, Mississippi and Tonawanda, New York. The earliest models were made in 1954 and the last model was made in 1984. Since then the Wurlitzer electric piano sound has been recreated on digital keyboards, and the vintage models are sought out by musicians and collectors.

Usually a portable 64-note instrument with a keyboard range from A an octave above the lowest note of a standard 88-note piano to the C an octave below the top note of an 88-note piano. Tone production in all models comprises a single steel reed for each key, activated by a miniature version of a conventional grand piano action and forming part of an electrostatic pickup system. A mechanical sustain pedal similar to that of a conventional piano is fitted.
