[HAM] OT,,,,,,,WURLOTZER ELECTRIC PIANO

[Andrew Bohachewsky]

I would the say the purchase was worth it - if only based on the fact that 
you can't really buy very much for $35!

I've been dragging a Wurly around instead of a Rhodes lately. Much lighter. 
Doesn't have the bite of a Rhodes - but it does have a much nicer and more 
consistent action (although I must admit that the Wurly I have is really 
mint - was bought from a recording studio).

Have fun with the new acquisition!
