HISTORY :
Wurlitzer
may be known more for its jukeboxes these days, but it was a formidible
name in affordable pianos for over a century until they closed their doors
in 1985. Baldwin subsequently bought the name and began applying the name
to their own pianos and those made in Korea. Most recently, Baldwin had
been applying the name onto pianos made in (gulp) China. Yes, a name as
American as baseball, hot dogs and apple pie is now proudly "Made
in China". Alas, no one can hear (founder) Rudolph Wurlitzer's screams.

with all these old American brand names being resurrected by new companies?"
