Wurlitzer Band Organ Problem Was Low Humidity
By Kevin Mayes

Hi everyone,  I'm just writing to thank everyone for their advice
and assistance with the problem I had with my Wurlitzer 125 Band Organ
[131213 MMDigest].  Many of you suggested its sudden lack of playing
was related to a lack of moisture shrinking the wood and causing vacuum
leaks.

You were right!  I found the humidity in the room had dropped and the
wood had actually shrunk.  I repaired the humidifier problem and after
a couple days of good humidity my Wurlitzer plays again!  Thanks to all!
