Wurlitzer Electric Piano 200 Green Top by Vintage Vibe

[richterkoehn2]

What I´d say!! Yeah

[144wychwood]

Cool sound. Same type of piano Eddie Van Halen used through his Marshall amp on "And The Cradle Will Rock"

[patsaxon]

Theses are the best electric pianos! I love the sound of Wulritzer electric pianos as they are the best!

[seonfox]

WOW!!!

[paulj0557]

The real shame is all of the absolutely incredible Wurlitzer organs of the 60's that sell for $50- $100 on Craigslist if the seller is lucky. These organs blow Hammond away. They can play every style of music, whether a solid combo organ , huge theater organ , a full blown diapason church organ , or a funky groovin' jazz organ, the Wurlitzer 4300 spinet or 4500 console are just a couple that can do it all, and do it all well! Listen to- ' Wurlitzer Organ John La Duca 4500/4502/4300 ' . ALL organ

[UKnowMe327]

what song is this?!

[BluGurus]

@UKnowMe327 What'd I Say by Ray Charles of course

[Pianocarneseur12]

How old is this wurlitzer?

[Bassguy0103]

Heeeeeeeell yeah!

[bugradio]

I went to a community college that had a room full of these Wurlitzers as practice pianos, barely ever used. Used to sneak in and play them. Wish I had run off with one!!!

Sha Na Na played one of these at Woodstock. It now sits in a display at the Museum at Bethel Woods on the original woodstock site. (not green tho)

[kingofallwhites]

@bugradio Where is this community college?

[animalman1122]

listen to "down by the seaside" it has one in it

[derfsup]

@animalman1122 Actually, "down by the seaside" has a Hohner Electra Piano. It used reeds similar to a Wurli, but as the lower leg of an asymmetrical tuning fork, like a Rhodes (as opposed to a tine). Cheers!

[animalman1122]

@derfsup cool, thanks

[TheLlawlliet]

The Song is "What'd I Say" by Ray Charles

[princegalena]

Sounds like this is what produces the opening chords to Futurama

[blackbombs]

Isn't this what plays in "Rehab" by Amy Winehouse?

[YourADrag]

be in a band with me!

[gibsonjoe531531]

I saw the film "Ray" last night, and i had this tune in mind when i was searching for a wurlitzer... YAY!

[tyuru2]

that sounds so cool, i want one...

[netosogo]

sweet jesus

[YusakuJon3]

I'm curious about the Wurlitzers and how they differed from a Fender Rhodes. I recall reading somewhere that, while the Fender used a harpsichord-style plucking mechanism to produce their sound, the Wurlis had a tonewheel system akin to their organs. The sounds are very similar.

[derfsup]

@YusakuJon3 They both use a simplified hammer action, similar to that of an acoustic piano (Although the Rhodes action is much more simplified). The Wurli uses a reed vibrating through an electrostatic pickup, and the Rhodes uses an asymmetrical tuning fork, with the lower "leg" being a tine, that vibrates in front of an electromagnetic pickup.

A plucking action can be found in Hohner's Cembalet. Tonewheels are found in the Hammond Organ.

[YusakuJon3]

@derfsup

Thank you for the correction. I knew that the Wurli used a reed system, which made me think it was more like a pipe organ (my pre-teen mind interpreting phrases within a book on musical instruments), so I was thinking that Hammond organs had a similar mechanism. More recently, I learned about the tonewheel system of the Hammonds.

For some reason, the book that I was reading back then also gave me the impression that the Fender Rhodes was more like a traditional piano.

[markthewhalekiller]

Ah, can't get enough of that sound.

[jprovost13]

i love wurlitzers :) such a great keyboard

[paulallen34]

nice playing and touch man love all those runs you did.

[Fagleboo]

How much does a Wurlitzer A200 weigh?

[Wonka275]

RAY CHARLES!

[masterdavid75428]

kewl

[JohnnyRichard]

Nice jam!

[KinetikPlayground]

reminds me of a 60's cartoon race for your life charlie brown

[Pianocarneseur12]

@KinetikPlayground Haha it does!!! although it's a ray charles hit called what'd I say.

[43447]

The american band 'Eels', and the French band 'Air' still use this paino.

[YAS62ftw]

Right there at the end... it sounded almost like a harp.

Graceful playing!

[johnnyRmoney]

i love the sound :)

[Brandotuomikoski]

What'd I say!!!! Hell yea!

[TheRhodeslady]

Has this got the speaker cabinet (214) or not? I would be interested if this is the case. I already have a black top 200

[hakemon]

Just found a 200 at the trash. Started playing this song on it, but on a different key. I played the intro on the black keys.

[mima14031985]

I hope you saved it... A Wurlitzer in the trash... what a shame!!

[ncsonicx0]

Great, Ray Charles - What'd I Say

[jonesrebel]

I love this. reminds me of The Beatles a bit and it definently sounds like Queen (You're my best friend).

anyone know a way to get this sound onto a keyboard, cuz there's no way I could afford this.

[bmwz20]

a lot of modern keyboards have e. piano effects that come close to this

[jlaw666]

how much do these things go for used?

[samuelishmedia]

they sell for anywhere between $1000 and $4000 used depending on condition

[nadiajoline]

Great sound too, those wurli's......a bit lighter then the rhodes.....

[nathanielscott]

Lighter in tone and in action!

[jonsays]

how much, could you PM me? i'd like to talk with you about purchasing.

[kentonandthedominoes]

brilliant playing btw

is this still for sale / does it have stand / how much ?

[bjames901]

DO you think u could send a link to the sheet music for this song or play it more slowly. I can't get past 25 seconds playing this on my wurlitzer.

[etronnel]

i wish i could play like u bro.....wow  but i choosed the guitar long time ago ...

good continuity

[tucorreomispolainas]

good theme man
