When you pushed the preset, the tabs would physically move. It even had two presets per manual! You were not able to pick what the preset did, and they were mechanical.
It had two 61 note keyboards and a 25 note pedalboard. Keeping with the Wurlitzer theme, my parents purchased a Wurlitzer 4500 console organ. You know – when I was just a wink in my dad’s eye! 🙂 It used a magnetic tape loop that would record and then playback what it recorded a short time later, as in “reverb.” WOW! (Or would that be OUCH?)Īlong the way, we were able to meet Jimmy Boyce and play the Mighty Wurlitzer Pipe Organ located at the Alexandria Skating Rink in Alexandria, Virginia. As it turns out, my parents met each other at that skating rink. Quite the piece of technology in its day.
I can say that we did have the “ Schober Reverbatape Unit.” I remember it well. Now, I was about knee-high to a grasshopper at the time and had no idea which model my dad built, but no question, that was the start of it all. The name of that company? Schboer Organs. It all started way back when my father built our first organ from a kit. But before we talk about Saturn’s, Delta’s, Spectra’s, Sonic’s, and OAX, how did we get here anyway? Our main mission is to both inform you and also learn from you about the Wersi product line. So who the hell am I anyway? My name is Curt Magura, and I’m the site admin/owner of the WersiClubUSA and IMMusic websites. I thought of writing this weeks ago, and today I realized that I never got around to it – Whoops!
