About This Piano
This satin ebony Wurlitzer C153 has been very well cared for and is in amazing cosmetic and playing condition. While it fits the bill of the baby grand class at 5’1”, the sound and performance you get from this piano is far beyond what an experienced pianist would come to expect from a baby grand. The clear and powerful voice of the instrument is well matched to a very responsive touch which allows the player to have excellent control over the instrument dynamically.
The Wurlitzer C153 5’1” baby grand piano was manufactured under the supervision of Baldwin and made to Baldwin’s specs by their parent company Samick, another global music instrument giant based out of South Korea. Featuring a multitude of German components, including Roslau strings, the C153’s design optimizes the length of the lower bass strings, giving this piano a surprisingly clear and full bass tone for an instrument of this size.
This is an absolute dream instrument for someone looking to enter the grand piano market. While many grand pianos in this price category can often be glorified pieces of furniture, this is by no means the case with this Wurlitzer C153. This is an instrument that is meant to be played and will provide the player with a rewarding, musical sound every step of the way.
About Wurlitzer Pianos
Wurlitzer has a longstanding history as being one of the most prolific musical instrument manufacturers of all time. The company initially imported string, woodwind, and brass instruments from Germany for resale in the United States. In 1880, they began manufacturing pianos and, ever since, they have been a well-known name within the piano industry.
The strong reputation the Wurlitzer name possessed eventually led to the American piano company Baldwin acquiring Wurlitzer in 1988.
