Wurlitzer 200 and 200a piano maintenance and repair
Your Wurlitzer 200 or 200a piano is now over 40 years old. Chances are it still does the job and gives a good sound. However, if it never or hardly had any maintenance chances are great it doen’t perform like it should anymore. Known symptoms are:
– Out of tune
– Sticking keys and sloppy action
– Some notes don’t get damped properly
– Uneven sound troughout the keyboard
– Uneven dynamic response
– No sustain on some notes
– Keyplay
– Noise and hum coming from the amp
All these symptoms can be fixed by Vintage Instrument Service. We’ve restored over 200 Wurlitzer piano’s and the difference after restoration always is like night and day. Four standard service packages are offered. If (partial) restoration has been done recently package 1 or 2 might suffice, but in any other case package 3 or 4 is required.
