Given that Fred has supplied me with evidence of a Model 111 sold on July 25, 1955, I suspect that the 110’s and 111’s were sent to stores at roughly the same time.ĭuke Ellington and his jazz orchestra recorded on a Wurlitzer Electric Piano on May 18 and 19, 1955, for Capitol Records, at Universal Studios in Chicago (a very obscure session, and I’m not sure the Wurlitzer tracks were released at the time). At least one has the date stamp “1254” on the side of the lowest key, which we interpret to mean “December 1954.” As described further down the page, I have reason to believe that no Wurlitzer was sold in a store prior to June 1955 - at the very least, I can find no advertising for them prior to that date.
