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.
