Wurlitzer™ 200A
Recorded with soul and microphones !

This library is not the usual "ultra multi-sampled" instruments recorded in a garage with cheap gear. To make these sounds, we did record a beautiful Wurlitzer™ 200A in ideal conditions, in one of the best recording studio in Europe. We used several microphones (Coles™ Microphones, Shure™ SM58 and Neumann™ U67) to capture the best of this electro-acoustic keyboard. We did also record the natural vibrato of the instrument. Although this may not be a conventional sampling technique, we did not want to hide the very sound behind technical stuff : the best way to make a Wurlitzer sound in music is to record it acoustically with microphones. And so did we.
A few words about the instrument: this electro-acoustic piano has single steel reeds for each key. The vibration is transmitted through an electrostatic pickup system, giving it a brighter and more hollow sound than the classic electric piano. This keyboard can be sweet when played gently or aggressive if played harder -- a behaviour known as "barking". This instrument will sound very familiar and was used on countless hit recordings, such as: "Dreamer" / Supertramp, "What’d I Say" / Ray Charles, "No Quarter"/Led Zeppelin, and many more...
