Not only an awesome instrument, but a damn funny writer too!

About me:
I'm just your basic 6 keyboard music teaching organ from the late 60s early 70s. I like: teaching psychedelic music to 6 year olds, weighing a lot and going up and down stairs, tetherball, closed toe sandals with socks, confusing the hell out of everyone who sees me for the first time, and "Crown roast of hotdog". I DISLIKE, water, MIDI, samplers, portable organs, and most Amish websites. If you know anything about me, or know another one like me, contact me. We might be able to trade some secrets.

I was licendesed by Wurlitzer to be made by Musitronic from Wegner.

I sound excellent!

I have been gone through and serviced

Everything about me works perfect!

I have headphone outs,inputs, outputs on every set of keys.

Master control on top and a remote control hard wired in

I am an endangered breed!

I am surprisingly portable and compact

I am HIGHLY collectible!

Just think of the possibilties if you had me

We have been marveling at this contraption in the NW for a little while. It is posted on Craigslist too:

My understanding is that a longtime TOMB member actually has one of these in their arsenal.

Not this one mind you -- another one.

Imagine a dozen mad Wurlitzers going feral all at once!

The only weakness I can see here is the 3.5 octave keyboards. I wonder which end of the keyboard you get shortchanged on.

A friend of mine wanted to buy one of these and form a concept band that only plays this one instrument (simultaneously of course).

Imagine the possiblities...

that's what I was thinking when I first saw this thing..but put each one thru different effects...

Yep, that's what we thought!

One keyboard goes through a long delay; one through a bass fuzz pedal; one through chop tremolo; etc. There would be a row of matching vintage tube amplifiers behind the band, one for each keyboard. The band wears matching white three-piece suits... (or something with mirrors

).

It would be an indie rock sensation! Especially if you could somehow put the whole group/keyboard rig on top of a giant slowly rotating platform (like they used to have at auto shows).

It's not a wurly piano as I first thought but a wurly organ

I think 6 keyboard players AND a drummer in a matching jumpsuit/vistalite kit would certainly make this a band to remember.

I don't know how 6 organs would sound..maybe not that great...not enough differentiation
