About The Wurlitzer 700
Playing a Wurlitzer 700 is like working with a collaborator who insists that your music be a little darker, a little heavier, and significantly more hard-fought. Its early action is considerably less responsive than those of later Wurlitzers, and it makes few concessions to the player. You have to understand how the 700 wants to be played before you can convince it to play along. But when you find a way to work with it, the reward is an enormous, enveloping sound that makes the effort worthwhile.
With the 700, Wurlitzer packaged its electronic piano as a respectable piece of household furniture. They compressed the mechanical action into a smaller space and stripped down the circuitry, but they were stuck with the technology of the time: vibrating steel reeds, an electrostatic pickup, and a tube amplifier. Thankfully for us, the sound refused to be domesticated.

12” speaker
Tube amp that has been recapped
