The 180 is totally different organ from the 175. The 175 has the same instrumentation as the 163, 164 and 168, only with the addition of the uniphone bells, and playing the 165 scale. The 175 facade is smaller version of the 180 facade. The 180 has a wider Facade and is fully chromatic, and play it's own roll.
@@khmam Yes, but no ORIGINAL 166's exist... the first one (serial 2945) was burnt up in an accidental shed fire. The second one's (serial 3001) fate isn't known.
@@khmam Wrong, this is the only Wurlitzer 175 ever built. It was listed as a 166 in the shipping ledger, however 2 166's were built. Neither are known to exist.

No.
What is the instrumentation & how does it compare with the 180
The 180 is totally different organ from the 175. The 175 has the same instrumentation as the 163, 164 and 168, only with the addition of the uniphone bells, and playing the 165 scale.

As far as I know there were 2 style 175's built by Wurltzer. One destroyed by fire, so this is the only existing 175. It plays 165 rolls.
Really? What's the serial number of the other one? I can't find it in the factory records. Might you be thinking of another model?
@@andrewbarrett1537 that other model is the 166 of which 2 were made, none are known to exist. The 175 is the only one made
@@CBF1 Joe Hilferty built a 166.

I should also mention, this is the only organ with uniphone bells on it, besides a glockenspiel.
I never knew there was a Wurlitzer 175. Is this one of a kind or were there more?
It's news to me also.... what a rare beauty !!
There were 2 175's made 1 burned in a fire, the other one remains here.

This is the T.R.T. roll numbered 6669 -- not the Wurlitzer roll with the same number.
Is there any chance you could help me find it? I’ve been trying to figure out the first song
The first song is "The Fairest Of The Fair," originally from roll 6526 (of which recuts do exist).
