They supplied musical instruments to the U.S. Wurlitzer became one of the first defense contractors in the United States. Wurlitzer pianos quickly became well known. The manufacturing of pianos began in 1880 with the instruments being sold through the Wurlitzer retail outlets. The company factory was built in 1861 with manufacturing focused on melodeons and organs.

In fact, this aggressively traditional piano could possibly be the most unusual and visually daring piece of equipment in your studio.
In a design scheme where hairpin legs and mod style and simple textures dominate, the 700 is conspicuously conservative. And yet, the moment you turn it on, you're enveloped in that unmistakable Wurlitzer sound. One of the most unique electronic pianos ever, its most striking feature is how ordinary it looks. Hindsight says that Wurlitzer should have just made the cutout bigger (the 12" speaker is super cool!), but the 720b's speaker is still much bigger than the ovals found in 140-series counterparts.Ī Wurlitzer for the discreet technophile, the 700 is equal parts tradition and technology.
