Value of Wurlitzer Band Organ
By Bruce Pier

[ Ref. 050305 MMDigest, Wurlitzer 125 Band Organ in Las Vegas

This particular organ has been on eBay twice recently.  I'm familiar
with this instrument.  It is an early Wurlitzer Style 105 that was
fitted with drums and cymbal by Louis Suierveld some twenty years ago.

The reserve bid, $20,000, is high for a Style 125 -- too much for
a conversion, in my opinion.  Another example of buyer beware.

Bruce R. Pier

 [ At http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6155438535 :
 [ "The side drums were added in 1930 ... This is a real, complete
 [ and original Wurlitzer 125 band organ."  (!)
 [
 [ The highest bid offered was US$14,600.00 (reserve not met).
