You never know where a good find might take you

A Wurlitzer 112—just like the one at the top of this page—is actually the reason we started restoring Wurlitzers.

We bought it because we thought it was incredibly cool, and it was at the right price. Then we wanted to buy fifty more, just to see what else Wurlitzer had made. One instrument led to another, and before long, we’d found ourselves in a business that we never really planned to start.

That’s one of our favorite things about vintage instruments. You never quite know what you’ll discover next, or where it might take you.

We’ve created this member’ area to share some of the interesting things we find along the way. Maybe you’ll discover a keyboard you’ve been searching for, stumble across something you’ve never heard of, or find an inexpensive project that turns into something much bigger.

We hope you’ll find something that starts an adventure of your own.
