Presenting our latest #smartchop Wurlitzer 214a! With just a few thumb screws, this design allows usage as both a stage piano on legs and a console model on a powerful 4x8 speaker base. We are calling this one the #deepspace Wurlitzer. This is our first attempt at a sparkle top Wurli lid, and we are very thrilled with the results! Want to hear what it sounds like? Follow the link in our bio for sound samples and more photos!

Ultra pristine #Kalamazoo K-101. This is the same as the legendary Gibson G-101, but an earlier form of branding. You can find this one listed on our @reverb storefront. .

Sound on! Here is a quick iphone demo of a Wurlitzer we recently tuned to a variation of ‘Just Intonation’ translated to A-432 and based on a C# tonic. Many hours of adding solder and fine tuning went into this baby. For reference, the second video is the same Chopin piece transposed down a half step to the key of C. For those interested, here are the offsets we used (from A440 and notated in cents). C# -45.45
D -32.72
D# -41.54
E -29.81
F -59.14
F# -47.4
G -62.94
G# -43.5
A -31.76
A# -61.09
B -48.76
C -57.18
