Wurlitzer "Butterfly" Piano
By Jim Quashnock

Okay, I know this is not a mechanical instrument, but I hope someone
out there has seen one.

I recently saw a Wurlitzer "Student Butterfly Piano".  This is a very
small piano that uses a standard size keyboard, but only about 4 or so
octaves.  It was designed as a practice piano for young students.

The action is all good, case shows some wear, but is nice as is and
I probably would do nothing but just clean it.  Bench is missing.  The
price looked a bit high at $1200.  Has anyone seen others for sale or
have any idea of price.  Thanks for your help.
