Never mind the Wurlitzer - just can't take my eyes off Marjorie Meinert. What a gorgeous lady. And such an attractive smile.

The Wurlitzer 4410 I got last year has proved to be one of the most incredible big sounding organs ever! I have it hooked to a Leslie high rotor, a Wurlitzer Spectratone, a 1946 Wurlitzer Vibrato cabinet, and a Hammond HR40 tone cabinet. The organ has a great ensemble of rich tone that is even more amazing than a Hammond where to theater sound is concerned.

I love the sound of the Wurlitzer electrostatic reed organs .... I have two of them - a 4400 spinet and a full size Orgatron from 1947 or so.

Have actually picked up a Wurlitzer 4410 electrostatic reed organ as well. My series 31 ES reed is actually a keyed reed, meaning air only goes to reeds when the keys are pressed. Hammond organs have a fast attack with the tone wheels always in operation, So Wurlitzer created the 'free reed' models to make the attack instant- in a free reed all reeds are blown from the moment the organ is turned on. The attack tab allows the old slow attack as well for hymns & fast attack for popular tumes.

2 whole comments in over a year. I bet that programming executive is rolling in his grave.I'm with you Ken, just getting a Wurlitzer Orgatron model 31 from 1946...older than the one here in this video. I do believe it is a free reed though. What is that? In this organ Ken used on 67 Melody Lane it was unlike his usual tone wheel Hammond, but in it's own unique way was similar. Instead of tone wheels producing a frequency, the Orgatron used the motion of reeds and resultant capacitance changes.

Ken played the Wurlitzer about as much as the Hammond it would seem. For instance, all of Anniversary Songs ( Yellow cover with flowers) is the Wurlitzer electrostatic reed ( 4600 free reed, meaning all reeds play continuous for instant attack like the Hammond tone wheel). If only some of us Wurlitzer fans could let some Hammond purists sit down at our rigs...no worry, some day I will perfect a more compact version of an ES reed organ. And not just for kicks, it's very important for the future!

Wait a second, that's really Bumble Boogie.
