Wurlitzer electronic piano model guide

Wurlitzer manufactured electronic pianos for about 30 years, from the mid-1950s to the mid-1980s. New models and variants appeared regularly as the company continued to refine its designs. Over time, these developments resulted in improved playability and more touch-responsive mechanical action. However, the earliest models are worthy instruments in their own right, with a sound unlike that of any other keyboard available.

Understanding the differences between models can help you choose the Wurlitzer which has the features and characteristics that suit you best.
