Air Pressure Powers Wurlitzer Cabinet Piano
By Kurt Morrison
While demonstrating the Seattle Paramount theatre's Knabe Ampico for
this months silent film series, an older organ restorer asked me about
a keyboardless Wurlitzer piano that operates by pressure from the organ
console. The theatre in Seattle has the Wurlitzer 4-in-1 variety
vacuum valve type action, so this one is new to me.
Does anyone out there on MMD have any knowledge of this type of piano?
