How much is your wurlitzer piano worth?

    The Wurlitzer electric piano was marketed and manufactured by the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company, located at Cornith, Mississippi. The basic principle of the Wurlitzer piano was developed in America by Ben F Meissner in the mid 1930s. He placed electromagnetic pickups on each string inside an ordinary piano. To make the tone more powerful, he put reeds inside the piano, which blew air into the piano. They developed this instrument further and came up with an electric version of the piano. They placed a hammer, covered with felt, inside the piano. The hammer strikes the metallic reeds to produce vibrations, which result in a rich and fat tone. These tones are picked up by a pickup system, which then converts the tone into electric energy. The advantage of this piano was that it could easily fit in with guitar based bands and, thus, was more popular for pop and rock music. Its worth really depend on what kind it is, how old it is, the condition, who will be buying it (some people really like Wurlitzer and may pay more for one), and a whole lot of other stuff. Any competent piano technician (tuner) can give an appraisal but it is good to start from low.
