FS: Wurlitzer Mortuary Piano in Florida
By Thomas Larsen

For sale: Wurlitzer Mortuary Piano, ser. no. 107325.  This
very fine sounding piano was found by Harvey Roehl, abandoned
and unsold, in the Wurlitzer factory.  It was later built into
a Seeburg G clone, except that the case was never completed.

The orchestrion played beautifully before the G-roll frame and
flute and violin pipes were removed for use in building an
authentic Seeburg G, but the pump, stack, organ chest, and
percussion are intact.

The piano has a marvelous sound and holds tuning very well.
Photo available.  Four cassette recordings were made of the
orchestrion and copies could be obtained for a very interested
prospective buyer.  Buyer to pay shipping from Orlando, Florida.
Make offer.
