- Wurlitzer Electronic Piano 140B from 1965. Brought back to life from decaying in a basement after decades of heavy gigging. Allegedly upholstered in corduroy at some point! Complete amp rebuild, replacement speaker, action adjusted, key bushing repair, voicing, reglued keytops, rebuilt sustain pedal, all sorts of other various adjustments and repairs. Currently living in a recording studio in upstate New York.
My father and I built and owned a recording studio in 1977 in my hometown of Mattoon Illinois. The studio was called Applause…. We were looking for a used electric piano we could afford., somehow he ended up driving to Champaign Urbana, Illinois, and purchased this exact same Whurlitzer electric piano, and a Sony 4 track real to reel from the then fledgling rock group… ( REO Speed Wagon ) “ NO JOKE “ , we used the Sony 4 track recorder for a couple of years…, and we traded it in on a Tascam 88 eight track recorder.. I used and played the Wurlitzer piano for around three years, and then traded it for a B3, Hammond organ…! I would love to have that Wurlitzer piano back…🎶🎹🎹🎹😍
Definitely, but a B3 is pretty awesome too, eh
Awesome story!
wurli tone so warm it feels like a weighted blanket over your brain
Richard Carpenter said in an interview that he played this exact model.
This sounds magnificent. Excellent performance!
gorgeous sound, so glad you were up to the task of saving such a lovely instrument.
Love your playing, sounds fantastic! Great restoration job. You saved this beautiful antique instrument.
I've always love the Wurli tone and this...oh man it's SUPERB!
That original speaker … _YIKES!_ You did a nice job with the refurb. Can't tell but it seems the keys are at least in pretty good shape. I've always liked the action on Wurlitzers. This one sounds _really_ nice-especially considering the years of neglect it was subject to. Seems like all of that work was worth it.
Amazing sound man. I like the raw look, but that thing needs to be wrapped in some Scarlett tolex or something lol
didn't expect it to sound so good
this is so beautiful
Sounds great!
Sounds lovely
Beautiful
Потрясающее звучание!
Sounds great! I thought there might have been some tubes in there, but I guess it was the wrong model.
Bel timbro 👏👏👏
Man and I thought mine was beat up!
love it
Very nice job! You made it sound great again. Did you end up using the vintage vibe amp kit, or did you source components elsewhere? About to tackle the job myself.
Прекрасный аппарат!!!
The old gal has some cosmetic fixes and after you did she still sounds as sexy as she did for her age of 59. Nice job .
that's why you call "rough hewn"
You’d really feel like going to the bathroom if the thing was wrapped in corduroy, no wonder they had to remove it.
Pretly
What song is this?
I’ve got to know what song this is or just hear more like it
Wurlitzer should have seriously considered assembling an 88-key version of this model with that cabinet. Either that, or they should have echoed what was done by Harold Rhodes and in the building of the Hohner Electra Piano.
Awesome but needs a bit of a tune
why don’t you go tune it yourself then pal
@@concorde__ I'd love to but I'm overseas
Break out your file - but don't take too much solder off, or you have to get a new tine and start over.
