Over time, Wurlitzer acquired a number of other companies which made a variety of loosely related products, including kitchen appliances, carnival rides, player piano rolls and radios. During the 1960s, they manufactured Spinet, Console, Studio and Grand Pianos. Wurlitzer is most known for their production of entry level pianos.
It quickly expanded to make band organs, orchestrions, player pianos and pipe or theatre organs popular in theatres during the days of silent movies. In 1880, the company began manufacturing pianos and eventually relocated to North Tonawanda, New York. Wurlitzer enjoyed initial success, largely due to defense contracts to provide musical instruments to the U.S. The company initially imported stringed, woodwind and brass instruments from Germany for resale in the United States.
The Rudolph Wurlitzer Company, usually referred to as simply Wurlitzer, is an American company started in Cincinnati in 1853 by German immigrant (Franz) Rudolph Wurlitzer.
