Here we have a superlative 1972 Wurlitzer EP200 electric piano, complete with new black legs and matched tan sustain pedal. Relatively rare, as the much more common EP200a appeared in 1974.....probably its a 6:1 ratio......Made in USA ( in Illinois/1972), it runs @ 220/240Vac via a standard IEC (kettle) socket. EP has had KKGB "pro" service, and has been properly voiced and tuned. Note original 200 refurbed amplifier, with correct fuses and suppressor etc (and safe/PAT tested). Check underneath to see the aux out 1/4" socket and the headphone socket. This EP was sourced from Kent in May 2026. Free Orchid passive traffo kills the inherent mains hum. Free (mainland) bespoke UK delivery is also included.

Photos show the actual instrument. New internal speakers have been fitted, new faceplate, new (correct) knobs, new hinges and original music stand. KKGB rate it as one the best example we have had the pleasure to refurb. Apart from a full "pro" service, we have added lead weights to all the keys; this really improves the action to a startling degree...faster and great dynamics. The reeds on EP200 pianos are very different from the later EP200A pianos; much brighter/punchier, and the extreme top octave just sizzles...... a true pleasure to play.

The iconic sound of the Wurlitzer® Electric Piano has ruled the airwaves for over half a century. The “Wurli” was made from 1954 to the early 1980s. Designed for gigging musicians, the 200A was released in 1974 and had an updated amp and speaker design over its predecessor, the model 200. The tone comes from steel reeds – small blades that were struck by the hammers of a real piano action. When they wear out and drift out of tune, the reeds are tuned by adding drops of solder to the tip and filing it off until the pitch is right.

The single Internal pickup routes the sound to the self-contained original 17 watt amplifier (KKGB guaranteed for 5 years).

Among the many artists who have famously used the original 200 are Pink Floyd, Beautiful South (Perfect Ten), Roxy Music, Hot Chocolate (You Sexy Thing) and each of the Beatles in their solo careers (Someone's knocking at the door), and Steely Dan. Jesus Christ/Superstar is now running at London Palladium <> resident band use a KKGB EP200 piano (with a spare one, just in case...).

Sounds like? John Deacon wrote "You're my Best Friend"...and also played a Wurlitzer EP200 on the recording of it, also "Lazy Sunday Afternoon" by The Small Faces will give you an idea of how a decent EP200 should sound....."Perfect Ten" by The Beautiful South is another great example...and Hot Chocolate usually had a Wurlitzer chugging around on many of their hits ( You Sexy Thing, you....). Attached video is of another KKGB EP200 (now on stage @ London Palladium).

Beware purchasing unserviced EP pianos. Chances are that they have not been serviced in 50 years. They can be lethal (they do run @ 230Vac), the reeds/action parts/keys may be in need of replacement/service/worn out/tuning & voicing.....Reeds are never covered by warranty. They are like spark plugs (remember them?) in cars with engines (remember them?).
