When you strike a key on a grand piano, the corresponding hammer works with gravity to strike the appropriate string and rebound, yielding notes that are repeated more reliably, with more consistent tone and with more nuanced expression than an upright piano with its vertical, mechanized-recall hammer action provides. Grand pianos of all sizes offer superior sound quality to upright pianos due to the horizontal action of the hammers on longer piano strings. Choose from brands like Steinway, Mason & Hamlin, Kawai, Yamaha, Cristofori, and others.

#WURLITZER GRAND G411 MEASUREMENTS MANUAL#
^ Electronic Piano Series 200 and 200A Service Manual (PDF), DeKalb, Illinois: The Wurlitzer Company.^ 'Wurlitzer Electric Piano models: a list'.^ 'A Rare Breed Indeed: The Wurlitzer Student Model Classroom'.^ Chronicle, Augusta (September 2010).^ 'Rhodes vs Wurlitzer : Comparing classic electric pianos'.An unusual, angular version was the 300, only available in the UK and EU around early 1973. Standalone classroom consoles were the 214/215 series, and home/stage consoles were the 203, 203W and 210. Rarer than the student models are the teacher consoles (207/207Va/205V, etc.), featuring multiple monitor/mute switches and, in some cases the facility to add a large illuminated display panel ('Key Note Visualizer') operated via the keyboard. Many console models have recently been modified to 200/200A specification for use on stage. Some of these models were given the designation 206/206A. On these models there is no tremolo (although later models simply have the facility disabled). Those usually seen resemble a beige or light green Model 200 mounted on a matching pedestal containing a loudspeaker, headphone niche and sustain pedal. According to former Wurlitzer employee Bill Fuller, 75% of all universities used Wurlitzer piano labs in the late 1960s or early 1970s, and some facilities were still in operation as late as 2000.
Up to 48 individual student instruments could be connected together. All students listened to each of their instruments through headphones. The teacher had a headphone and microphone to be able to listen into each student individually and talk to them without others hearing them. One important role for the Wurlitzer piano was as a student instrument in school and collegemusic labs, and non-portable console versions were made for this purpose. The last version to be introduced was the 200B in 1978 this was visually identical to the 200A but was designed to be powered by a pair of medium-tension (85v) rechargeable batteries it had no internal speakers or amplifier. The white Wurlitzer sometimes seen being used by bands such as the Beach Boys, the Carpenters and Supertramp was a custom painted finish not made by the manufacturer. The 200A was only available in black and avocado green. The 200 was available in black, dark 'Forest Green', red or beige. This model was updated as the 200A in 1974 and continued in production into 1983. Ultimately, after revisions designated with 'A' and 'B' suffixes, both were replaced in 1968 by the plastic-bodied 200, a much lighter instrument (56 pounds (25 kg) without the legs or pedal) with two loudspeakers facing the player. The model 145 was tube and came out around the same time as the 140 solid state pianos. Models produced until the early 1960s used vacuum tube circuitry the 140 was the first solid-state model, introduced in 1962.

Apart from the 1950s models (110, 111, 112, 112A, 120), the portable Wurlitzer pianos featured a tremolo effect with fixed rate but adjustable depth. The earliest versions were the '100' series these had a case made from painted fibreboard and were fitted with a single loudspeaker mounted in the rear of the case.
