Our little Wurlitzer 106p in action, proving that good things come in small packages! 

Featuring very special warbling tone thanks to an early 1960’s Magnatone Model 460 Amplifier with pitch vibrato, as opposed to tremolo. The rich spring reverb doesn’t hurt either. We’re melting over the Wurlitzer paired with this beautiful vintage amplifier. 

Also featuring very special improvised chords & melody courtesy of @matt.blocher .

Lick of the week - “Vehicle” by the Ides of March. 
We found our recent Chevelle inspired Wurlitzer 200 to be the perfect “vehicle” for this song 😉
Hailing from Berwyn Illinois (just outside of Chicago), the Ides of March were billed alongside the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin after the release of this 1970 chart topper.

Getting Phunky with a medley of perennial Phish Phavorites “Tweezer” and “Stash” on this custom Hohner Clavinet D6, built for @pagemcconnell of @phish 

Also Pheaturing @matt.blocher on our Rhodes MK8 and a korg 55b rhythm machine. 

When Page called for a custom Clavinet, we were Philled with excitement! We tasked ourselves to Phix him up with the best of the best. 

Phollowing a Phull mechanical and electronic restoration of the Clavinet, we phoned @joshuaivantruman to build this beautiful black walnut case to house the instrument, and violá! Clavinet euPhoria! 

A big thanks to Eddie @sta2ned for making this all happen!

Here we demonstrate the unique ability of our custom Helpinstill piano to split its own keyboard into three separate outputs; Bass, Middle, and Treble. Of course, the two-way split became somewhat standard in the digital era, but can you name any other acoustic instrument that can split its register like this? 

The treble is run through a vintage @bossinfoglobal DM-3 for maximum @lee_scratch_perry vibes. The midrange is run through a vintage Boss Ph-1 phaser. We ran the bass through a vintage @ehx mini Q tron for a little @bootsy_collins nod. 

Stay tuned for more footage and an in-depth blog post on our website about this super unique Helpinstill restoration.
