We begin every Wurlitzer refurbishing service with a complete disassembly, deep cleaning and thorough inspection. Each component is assessed and held to strict standards, being repaired or replaced as needed. Moving parts are treated and lubricated before being properly aligned and re-installed. Finally, a thorough regulation is performed by calibrating the action to achieve a consistently efficient, level and smooth keyboard feel.
Our electronics overhaul work sees almost 100% of passive components replaced with modern, low-noise transistors, capacitors and resistors - all while staying true to factory original circuit designs. Our proven methods are guaranteed to improved the noise floor of your piano without sacrificing the classic Wurlitzer tonal response.
Finally, a thorough checkup of the tuning and voicing is performed, with any poor or lackluster notes being treated or replaced.
A welcomed design feature of the Wurlitzer piano is a fully mechanical keyboard and action mechanism, designed around the very same principles as an acoustic piano. With over 12 years piano servicing experience, we seamlessly integrate our piano repair and regulation know-how to make these instruments play at their best.
A central factor of the playing experience is derived from the tactile keyboard response - soft play and quick repetition, to strong attack and barking growl - a properly set up and regulated keyboard action is paramount to getting the most out of your instrument.
Once the keyboard is correctly fine-tuned, the electronics improvements can begin. We tackle all aspects of the piano's electronic components: the power supply, pre-amplifier, tremolo and output amplifier circuitry.
In order to maintain the instrument's original tone, collector value, and future serviceability, we always opt to retain original printed circuit board or tube amp chassis designs. By utilizing modern noise-reduction techniques in conjunction with the highest quality era-specific replacement components, we achieve rock-bottom noise standards you'll need to hear to believe!
