Ármin Döme I feel, deep in my heart, you are soooooo wrong. As a man who owned 2 wurlitzer 200’s and only once played a mellotron. Mellotrons are magic
He played some unforgettable gems by Supertramp, but I'll admit it was a crime (of the century) to leave out "Bloody Well Right." That Wurlizter-filled intro is fire!
Can we get the Good Doctor to demonstrate how Keith Emerson would 'ride' his Hammond around on stage, stabbing it with knives and then playing it upside down and backwards? XD
i got the soft wurl from arturia collection for black friday, so after i spent one month with sem oberheim i started today with Wurl , and after listening this video i heard school and bloody well right and hide in your shell from Supertramp, they will not be the same. Sei un grande!
I had my guitar on my lap while watching this video. When you played Mercy mercy mercy, aw man. It was the first jazz song i learnt in my highschool jazz band. I instantly played along. Its been like 5 years since ive heard that tune.
I'm not a musician but I just love to watch you guys play on these classic instruments. I hope your business is going well, you have enormous potential with all that gear and brilliant musicians! Cheers!
Would love to see a Part 2 to this. "Joy To The World", "Mama Told Me Not To Come", "Money", "These Eyes", "Summer In The City", "Have A Cigar", "Breakdown", "Do It Again", "Top Of The World", "Miss You", "Eye In The Sky", "Pipeline", and "Sugar Sugar"
I remember Waylon Jennings once singing "They oughta give me the Wurlitzerprize for all the silver I let slide down the slot". That line reminds us that Wurlitzer is also famous for its jukeboxes. 😊
I love that song mercy mercy mercy!! Thank you for the intro to it - I was born in '82, so I was stuck with listening to whatever the radio was playing from past decades. I loved the 70s!!! Also, I liked Beck's stuff. My favorite song was "loser".
Bellissimi ricordi! Negli anni 80 non potevo permettermi lo Yamaha CP80 e avevo "ripiegato" su questo gioiello. Poggiato sul Wurlitzer avevo il Korg poly 61 e più in alto il Korg ms20 poi sostituito dal poly800 che aveva le memorie. Tempi d'oro!
DUDE! I've had Goodbye Stranger in my head for so long and couldnt remember the band nor the name! I'm so happy I found your channel. I must now clean the dust off my keyboard and play again, it's been too long! Thank you!
Supertramp are a gold mine when it comes to Wurlitzer. Here's some lesser known songs: ua-cam.com/video/Cpu-cROlPf0/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/qVXVPL5OX3k/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/OQtECH_uU2w/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Lwejutm2BcQ/v-deo.html
While it really sounds like a Wurlie to me, Get Back was played on a Suitcase Rhodes. You can see it in the video. So, substitute "So Into You" by Atlanta Rhythm Section.
Freddie hated keyboards and wurlitzers, John Deacon had to play that himself, playing the bass simultaneously by his left hand aka Ray Manzarek style :D
It's interesting because John couldn't sing and it was for his wife. Had he been able to sing he most certainly would have had lead vocal on it...so Freddie should have been grateful he was giving an opportunity to sing such a beautiful song.
I bought a used Wurlitzer 200 when I was still in high school. I still have it, was recently serviced by a guy here in Toronto who is the Wurlitzer Whisperer ... I love it so much
...Although most mainstream Pop/Rock fans from the U.S. would be more familiar with the remake of that song, which was a "hit" by the group The Buckinghams in 1967. It went to the #5 position on the Billboard "Hot 100 Chart" in August of that year. Finally, here is the "link" to the Wikipedia page for that song: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercy,_Mercy,_Mercy
Nathan Downing - Zawinul probably did play a 140, but the definitive Ray Charles tone from ‘What I’d Say’ was the earlier 120, which had longer reeds and cruder action. The soundboards and reeds from the 140/145 were interchangeable with the later and best-known 200, so their sound was much closer. FWIW, the Fender Rhodes was initially available only as the bass version, with the 73 and 88 to follow in ‘66 or ‘67, well after ‘Mercy, Mercy, Mercy’ was originally penned.
Saga also used it extensively on their first album. Check out "Tired World (Chapter 6)" and "Give 'em the Money", where the combination of Wurlitzer and synths creates a really dark atmosphere.
Amazing video on my most favorite electric piano sound! My introduction to the Wurlitzer sound was through Supertramp, and good to know you love them too! I always wanted to play Goodbye Stranger on a real Wurlitzer, but now I have to be content with using just VSTs.
The Wurlitzer (the model 200a like you have) was apparently Donny Hathaway's favorite keyboard. You can hear it on his songs like "The Ghetto" and "This Christmas" (not the solo part but the accompaniment).
@@Steadman711 I suppose that could have been a Rhodes on "This Christmas", but on hits like "The Ghetto" and his famous live album in 1972, I'm pretty sure that was a Wurly. You can actually see what looks like a 200a on the cover of the live album.
When he mentioned he is from Italy I finally understood his thing with the excessive hand gestures! It unlocked this for me! This is actually a cool guy!
I owned one of these for years when I was touring professionally as a musician. Loved the tone but it was a serious pain in the ass because it kept breaking reeds.
Your Wurli sounds KILLER! Seems like it's got more bark/bite than normal.. Gotta be running it into a tube amp or something. It's voiced really well. 👍👍 I have a rare colored Avocado Green top 200a from 1976 myself. Love me some Wurli's! 😎 Steely Dan tunes: Chained Lightening, Black Friday.. A couple of my favorites. A lot of people get the Wurli & Pianet mixed up.. They sound real similar, yet they have their own thing going on.
Mercy, mercy, mercy. So nice! The other day a trio played on my town, i, ve never Heard It, since then i was searching It. Today i,ve seen doctor mix playing it and giving the name of this wonderful melody. Grazie Miller, Claudio
Hey man thanks so much for putting the song names as you play, that was my one critique with your past videos when demonstrating keyboards and synths, awesome improvement!
A few years ago, I sent an email to "Doc" Robinson of King Harvest, and asked him what instrument was used to play the opening of "Dancing In the Moonlight". He responded, "Aaaahhh, those magical notes! It was a Wurlitzer electric piano."
Was delivering pizzas and Came across a band practice and noticed they had a wurli in the corner! Went back after work to have a jam with the guys and they let me play it. I am in love.
Not only a great sounding instrument.. I really love it's key-action.. It plays a bit lighter than a Rhodes or other weigthed keybeds.. Not quite as light as semi-weighted synthkeys.. it's just different and very inspiring.. :-) Great playing btw!! (Y)
Grazie ai tuoi video, e nello specifico a questo video ho comprato la mia prima tastiera MIDI. Nasco bassista ma quando due anni fa scoprii il tuo canale rimasi stregato da questo mondo. Grazie, Doctor Mix! Thanks to your videos and specifically this one, I bought my first MIDI keyboards. My first instrument was a bass but when I discovered your channel two years ago I was enchanted by the keyboards world. Thank you Doctor Mix!
Wurlitzer, Rhodes, Hammond and mellotron. All legendary in their own way.
Clavinets are also very nice
Mellotron is an exception, I think. That was such an idiot instrument. With very-very cheap sounds...
Ármin Döme I feel, deep in my heart, you are soooooo wrong. As a man who owned 2 wurlitzer 200’s and only once played a mellotron. Mellotrons are magic
@@DomeArmin It was a very experimental instrument, but without it we wouldn't have strawberry fields by the Beatles.
Ármin Döme It’s crazy how limited some people’s minds are
He played some unforgettable gems by Supertramp, but I'll admit it was a crime (of the century) to leave out "Bloody Well Right." That Wurlizter-filled intro is fire!
Totally the one I waited for the whole video :D
yeah, that's none of my favorite tracks!
Wurlitzer instantly evokes Supertramp for me! Great job!
Yes!
Me too, for sure
and how can a person NOT start singing Logical Song after starting the riff?? I was singing right with him :-)
yes.... Supertramp sound...!
In this video he plays 2 Supertramp songs The Logical Song and Goodbye Melbourne
You're honestly one of the top 10 coolest people on the Internet.
Well i don't like this over active behaviour
Hahha!! Thanks man!!!
@@uvoikimovundutrauerblume3302what
I love the sound of Wurlitzer it's so chill
"What'd I Say" is the first time I remember ever hearing a Wurlitzer. Ray Charles showed what it could do and the rest is history.
Dreamer by Supertramp is a MUST on the Wurlitzer. Love this video as much as I love Wurlitzer!!! Great!
I come back to this video every once and a while just because of this guys positive and fun attitude. Love it!
I love Supertramp too....brilliant wurlitzer and falsetto vocal.
Hearing melodies from Supertramp on this wonderful instrument makes me happy :)
Awesome, I’d like to see a vid on the Hammond organ
My Wurlitzer sat on my B -3!
Tom Smith. That’s pretty cheeky, you never kicked him off?
Can we get the Good Doctor to demonstrate how Keith Emerson would 'ride' his Hammond around on stage, stabbing it with knives and then playing it upside down and backwards? XD
Yes, please! Or a Vox Continental, or a Farfisa organ!
Oh yes please
Love it or hate it, singing along with the Logical Song is compulsory.
Its... wait for it... so logical.
Don't know the song, but love the comment
@@stilliving look it up. its great
Dreamer!
Bloody Well Right!
He looks like he's cosplaying as the Scout from TF2.
Need a wurlitzer here!
He really does
Yo what’s up
or Tom Morello

Ah man hitting all the soft spots in my heart. I could listen to those all day.
I'm not a musician but I just love to watch you guys play on these classic instruments. I hope your business is going well, you have enormous potential with all that gear and brilliant musicians! Cheers!

agreed!
A lot of these songs were actually done on a Hohner Pianet which sounds similar
I agree, that would be nice.
"These Eyes" wasn't played on a Wurlitzer. It was played on a Hohner Pianet, like The Beatles', "The Night Before".
Wonderful sound. Fantastic Wurly. Great 60's and 70's Memories.
This video reminded me that 'Where It's at' is my all-time favourite song
That was excellent! Even Supertramp!!!! Two songs!!!!!!!! Love this.
I remember Waylon Jennings once singing "They oughta give me the Wurlitzerprize for all the silver I let slide down the slot". That line reminds us that Wurlitzer is also famous for its jukeboxes. 😊
Yeah I think I saw that in a Wikipedia piece

Ray Charles in “The Blues Brothers” movie playing, “Shake Your Tail Feather “ - (may have been a Fender Rhodes he played.)
bluesbred3 - It was a Rhodes, I believe.
Yup, that's a Fender Rhodes
DUDE! I've had Goodbye Stranger in my head for so long and couldnt remember the band nor the name!

Just LOOOVE the Supertrump ones! So good! Makes me want to go right away to the keyboard and try it LOL
Supertrump would actually be a great name for a band lol
Siemon Blidener LOL Almost as good as Supertramp, sorry about that 😂
I used to love the way Supertramp would run that Wurly through a chorus-type effects box (at least I assume that's how they got that sound).
super trump.... can fly and save earth from war, sin, and sadness.....
!?

@@Meridian83West That or a Phase Shift Pedal.
My favorite electric piano. Hands down.
My favorite instrument for sound #1 wurlitzer #2 vox continental #3 minimoog. Thanks for the video.
Loved all those song's ,now I realized it was the warmth of the wurlitzer electric piano that really evokes the emotion.👍👍
Love it; just got my Reface CP and catching up on the Wirley!
You nailed your choices. Those are where the Wurly is at.
While it really sounds like a Wurlie to me, Get Back was played on a Suitcase Rhodes. You can see it in the video. So, substitute "So Into You" by Atlanta Rhythm Section.
Funny...he actually says "Billy Preston playing the Rhodes" at 4:46. Great substitute suggestion, though.
Merci Merci Merci played by Joe Zawinul! Genius!
Amazing video!
Freddie hated keyboards and wurlitzers, John Deacon had to play that himself, playing the bass simultaneously by his left hand aka Ray Manzarek style :D
of course speaking about "You are my best friend"
Freddie didn't know better.
It's interesting because John couldn't sing and it was for his wife. Had he been able to sing he most certainly would have had lead vocal on it...so Freddie should have been grateful he was giving an opportunity to sing such a beautiful song.
Freddie didn't hate the piano since he played it on Bohemian Rapshody
@@Crunkboy415 Keyboards and Wurlitzer.
Can you read?
I bought a used Wurlitzer 200 when I was still in high school. I still have it, was recently serviced by a guy here in Toronto who is the Wurlitzer Whisperer ... I love it so much
Legend. Brought back some great memories there. Thanks.
YOU ARE FOR ME MY INSPIRATION TO CONTINUE PLAYING THE PIANO, YOU ARE WHO I WANT TO FOLLOW
These are all great. My favorite Wurlitzer song is “Digital Love” by Daft Punk
Iconic equipment+great songs+fun+music history+personal history+theory+music technique= good stuff
actually mercy mercy mercy is written by joe zawinul for cannonbal ;)
Ohhh! Wow YOU'RE 100% RIGHT!!!! Yes, I forgot!!! Well pointed out!!!!!!!!!!!! RESPECT
I would die without knowing that. Thanks for the information.

Spot on ! Especially the Supertramp songs !
4:02 The fill did not disappoint!
May I just say how rewatchable your videos are? Seen this one like 10 times
Wow - your Wurly is very well voiced! Great demo - thanks. Another classic is "Jeans On" - David Dundas. Bloody awesome song.
Well done!! 2 songs of Supertramp.. Fantastic!!
Joe Zawinul wrote mercy mercy mercy. A very fine musical man he was. Rip
I was waiting for "Mama told me not to Come" late 60's Whirly 3 Dog Night/ Randy Newman classic. Great video!
Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" is a jazz song written by Joe Zawinul in 1966 for Julian "Cannonball" Adderley
Love that rendition of Logical Song.
I remember this sound in the Alan Parsons Project songs.
bravo . suono suggestivo di suo, poi trattato dagli APP era Epico
Eye in the Sky, Prime Time, both used the Wurlitzer.
@@mikos.o187 I think they used a Rhodes on I Robot.
What goes up.
Saga also used it extensively on their first album. Check out "Tired World (Chapter 6)" and "Give 'em the Money", where the combination of Wurlitzer and synths creates a really dark atmosphere.
Nothing as fun as hearing a really good musician play some really good songs
Doctor Mix. Always the man in red❤❤❤❤❤❤
This piano and hammond organ are my favourite, i love the old analogic sound ❤️
Rita Coolidge used this keyboard on "Nice Feeling" in 1971. Also Sheryl Crow used this on All I Want To Do
It truly disgust me how much I love Supertramp. Great video.
Doctor Mix, "awesome" you are playing all these songs with so much passion !! Greetings and "RESPECT"
from Germany : )
The good doctor, the cure for any ills. I watch your videos, I feel joy. Great wurli playing, Grazie!!
Wurlitzer é simplesmente único!!!!! Instrumento fantástico!!!!! Ótimo vídeo sucesso 👏👏👏👏
Thanks for sharing so much love to the Wurlitzer with us, appreciate that so much, thanks mate
This is the end result of music training and having talent.
Great Video! Thank you so much. I played a Wurlitzer for a few gigs when I was young. What a cool electric piano of its day.
What a lovely fella - just discovered this channel, well done.
You know your music well, my friend. The Wurlitzer is probably my favourite electric piano sound.

Great playing, Supertramp is one of my favorite bands, great to hear it from you !
Supertramp... talk about formative years!
Let's go on a nostalgic youtube sojourn..
Great video - iconic Wurlitzer hits!
You forget to mention one of this pianos most famous appearance which was Ray Charles doing shake your tail feather in the Blues Brothers movie
I was just about to post the exact same thing and Riders on The Storm by the Doors. Still, a great video :)
That one is on the Rhodes. I'll do a Rhodes one, no worries ;)
That's a Rhodes by fender mate. Much softer and less attack.
And that is why I'm a guitarist/bass player by trade :)
Similar sound, but it’s on a Rhodes!
EDIT: Awe I see that was already covered!
Sounds killer thanks for making
Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock" missing here - one of the most beautiful songs ever.
Great rendition of Mercy, Mercy, Mercy!!
WHAT?!?! .. no Bloody Well Right???? ..aside.. brilliant!
Quite right!
You have a natural, human approach to your videos. Great job.
Epic sound. Thanks for pulling it out for a jam. ✌️
So glad you covered Beck that was awesome
Not only a great sounding instrument.. I really love it's key-action.. It plays a bit lighter than a Rhodes or other weigthed keybeds.. Not quite as light as semi-weighted synthkeys.. it's just different and very inspiring.. :-) Great playing btw!! (Y)
