Tuning a Wurlitzer Band Organ
By Bill Masterman

Just a quick bit of input on tuning the Wurlitzer 125 scale.  A typical
Wurlitzer 105 has a transposed tuning scale.  The note marked on the
pipe is usually tuned one note lower than what is stamped on the pipe.

I learned this the hard way by assuming the note on the pipe is the
pitch it is supposed to be tuned to.  I could not get them to blow that
sharp.
