See some of the mighty vintage Wurlitzer organs of the ’60s

The excitement… the enchantment… of the Mighty Wurlitzer in a spinet organ!

To achieve this accomplishment, Wurlitzer engineers, acoustical experts and nuclear physicists conducted elaborate, highly technical research. They recorded and carefully analyzed the tone structure of various pipes of a Mighty Wurlitzer. Then they set out to recreate these rich, full, unforgettable sounds in a spinet electronic organ… the Wurlitzer 4300. The result is sheer magic.

Award-winning Wurlitzer designer, K. Gunnar Benson, NSID, gives you many, many beautifully designed styles from which to choose. Only Wurlitzer offers such a complete selection of styles and finishes… combined with such musical excellence.

And musical excellence goes hand-in-hand with cabinet design… placement of speakers is critical to proper resonance… the back protects electrical components and creates an acoustic tone chamber.

Because Wurlitzer places major emphasis on furniture styling and quality cabinetry, as well as basic tonal design, the result is an organ that is actually custom-made. Cabinet and organ are designed and built for each other, by Wurlitzer, at the most modern organ manufacturing plant in the world.

This combination of decorator-design, finest facilities and skilled craftsmanship gives you an instrument as pleasing to the eye as it is to the ear.

Whatever the decor of your home, there’s a Wurlitzer 4300 to enhance its beauty. Choose from popular Contemporary in warm Walnut or rich Sable Brown Mahogany, elegant Italian Provincial, handsome Scandinavian Oiled Walnut, authentic Early American Maple, or luxurious French Provincial Cherry.

THE WURLITZER ORGAN’S EXCLUSIVE ALL-TRANSISTOR TONE GENERATING SYSTEM

To assure precise tone, the tone generating system of the Wurlitzer 4300 employs silicon transistors, the type until now found only in missiles and similar government projects. Thorough testing proved them to be unaffected by humidity or temperature variations. The most reliable, longest-lasting transistors ever marketed, they’ll give you ultimate dependability. No warm-up needed… you can begin to play instantly.

Another advantage of these tone generators is their small size, permitting a larger acoustic tone chamber. They also make possible a less complex organ design that assures maximum reliability.

The Wurlitzer exclusive tone generating system authentically produces the four basic families of organ tone ; String, Flute, Reed and Diapason, plus orchestral voices. The flute tones are smooth and mellow. The string tones soar and sing. The reed tones are vibrant, penetrating.

For over half a century, the sound of the Mighty Wurlitzer has been famous throughout the world… the new Wurlitzer 4300 spinet organ leaves no doubt why. Never before has such magnificent sound… such fullness of tone… been available n a spinet organ.

Recording the sounds of the Mighty Wurlitzer was the first step in tonal research for the new 4300. Three-dimensional models of sound waves are constructed to permit the research staff to see what the ear hears. Another step was checking the waveform shaping network. Having simulated a voice of the Mighty Wurlitzer for the 4300 electronic spinet organ, an acoustical engineer measures the accuracy of the waveform.

One of the many tests made in checking tone was conducted in an anechoic chamber, where experts checked the authenticity of the sound oi the 4300 compared to that of the Mighty Wurlitzer.
