Wurlitzer's - false beats

[William Benjamin]

Actually, 

I think the Wurlitzer consoles are worse than the spinets.   The keys tend
to be heavier in front so they repeat slower with there compressed action:
and they are far more wild.   Just my opinion.

Because they're poorly built, erratically notched, sloppily 
pinned junk with a too soft bridge cap. That's why, and that's 
after you've put on the jiffy leads to get the front heavy 
keys to return. Seat the strings as often and as hard as you 
like on these things. You won't damage or downgrade them any 
more. I understand they sink readily though, so should make 
excellent crappie shelters.
