Prestige
The Wurlitzer was more than an instant hit, giving voice to a southern soul spirit and funk essence that took 60’s & 70’s pop music by storm. From Booker T & the MG’s to Queen, its sound was far from unheard.
Wurli V faithfully reproduces the model 200; the most popular and enduring from the Wurlitzer lineup. Compact, portable, stable, and stackable, it got close enough to the dynamic range of an acoustic piano while adding some electro-mechanical might that matched the guitars - giving players a great sounding keyboard they could carry from gig to gig.
