With the technological development at the beginning of the 20th century, the Wurlitzer became famous for its jukebox and coin-operated pianos. These were mid-range pianos, but very durable and solid as a good price/quality compromise. The production of Wulitzer pianos began in 1880 and was later sold in smaller retail stores. Initially he produced organs and melodicas.
He opened a local factory in Cincinatti, Ohio in 1861. In a very similar period of time, the German Frank Rudolph Wurlitzer started his activity, who from 1853 brought instruments from The Wurlitzer Company in Germany to the USA.
You may know that not only Henry Steinway is a German expatriate in the USA, who is famous for creating upright and grand pianos. Or maybe it is a "strange" instrument resembling an upright piano and we know only its brand name? If you have an instrument marked with the American name Wurlitzer - you're in the right place! In this article we will try to introduce you to the history, instruments and other inventions of this very factory. We often wonder what is the value of an inherited grand or upright piano we have at home?
