Mighty Wurlitzer-Konzert at the Musikinstrumenten-Museum

The Mighty Wurlitzer theatre organ is one of the largest surviving instruments of its kind in Europe. In 1929, Werner Ferdinand von Siemens, the grandson of the company founder, acquired it from the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company in North Tonawanda, NY. It has four manuals, 1228 pipes and more than 200 stops. There is also a large number of percussion and effect instruments. Rolling thunder and twittering birds, sirens wailing and bells ringing - the Mighty Wurlitzer's sound palette is impressive. In the short concert with explanations, you will get to know the instrument and immerse yourself in its world of sound. You will experience famous tunes, pop songs and classical highlights.
