  • Here's an old 200A we restored inside and out. I stalled our Variable Vibrato and Tube amp. We even topped it off with a custom Red lid.

    It's called "Easy" from Lionel Richie and The Commodores..1977 I think is when it came out. It's the first song I ever learned to play and I actually learned it on a Wurlitzer just like this one in 1978! If you want to hear more of their great songs of that era just do a search for Easy-Lionel Richie or just type in The Commodores...they had many great hits like Brick House,Sail On, 3 Times a Lady etc..& of course Lionel Richie's career followed after the '70s.with huge hits as a solo artist...

    I honestly love Supertramp and the way they used the Wurlitzer was just sublime. In my opinion, they used it better than anyone else.

      I love Rick Wright's Wurly in Floyd songs. while not technically sophisticated, he used it wisely. that wah-wah Wurly in Money for instance. very cool. he mainly played funky stabs complementary to some of the more groovy sort of Floyd numbers.

    • @jaiguru9538
      @jaiguru9538 6 лет назад +2

      Very little of what Floyd did ever really was technichally sophisticated, but you said it best: They just really had like THE most solid wisdom on their instruments. They knew how to milk those tired blues licks for all they were worth.

    To be completely fair, it pretty much has a miniaturized grand piano action inside it. All wooden components except the resonator and reeds. Yes, reeds instead of strings. I can say that they have a beautiful, absolutely beautiful sound when heard in person. Though mine needs some TLC and a few new reeds.

    Makes perfect sense. I used to be in the business of fixing pro audio gear but nothing as involved as those pianos. It's simple to replace the silicone contact strip in, say, a Korg keyboard, but the Werlitzer.... You definately got your work cut out for you! :-D

    wurlitzer's have that slightly stronger sound than a rhodes. to be honest i would have a rhodes or a wurlitzer 200a in a heartbeat. both are great electric piano's. i dont like plug ins on software rather have the real thing.
