The excitement . . . the enchantment ... of the
Mighty Wurlitzer in a spinet organ ! To achieve this
accomplishment, Wurlitzer engineers, acoustical
experts and nuclear physicists conducted elabo-
rate, highly technical research. They recorded and
carefully analyzed the tone structure of various
pipes of a Mighty Wurlitzer. Then they set out to
recreate these rich, full, unforgettable sounds in
a spinet electronic organ . . . the Wurlitzer 4300.
The result is sheer magic.

EXCLUSIVE ALL-TRAWSISTOR

TONE GENERATING SYSTEM

To assure precise tone, the tone generating system
of the Wurlitzer 4300 employs silicon transistors,
the type until now found only in missiles and simi-
lar government projects. Thorough testing proved
them to be unaffected by humidity or temperature
variations. The most reliable, longest lasting tran-
sistors ever marketed, they'll give you ultimate de-
pendability. No warm-up needed . . . you can begin
to play instantly.

Another advantage of these tone generators is their
small size, permitting a larger acoustic tone chamber.
They also make possible a less complex organ de-
sign that assures maximum reliability.

The Wurlitzer exclusive tone generating system
authentically produces the four basic families of
organ tone ; String, Flute, Reed and Diapason, plus
orchestral voices. The flute tones are smooth and
mellov/v. The string tones soar and sing. The reed
tones are vibrant, penetrating. Diapason, the church
organ sound' has a richness and fullness of tone all

bination, produce a multitude of other voices and
orchestral effects.

For over half a century, the sound of the Mighty
Wurlitzer has been famous throughout the world
. . . the new Wurlitzer 4300 spinet organ leaves no
doubt why. Never before has such magnificent
sound . . . such fullness of tone . . . been available
n a spinet organ. The Wurlitzer 4300 brings right
into your home the excitement of the famed Mighty
Wurlitzer theater organ, the grandeur of the cathe-
drat organ, the brilliance of the jazz organ, the
refinement of the classical organ, theappeal of the
popular organ . . .TOTAL TONE. To believe it, you
have to see it . . . hear it . . . play it.

Recording the sounds of the Mighty Wurlitzer was
the first step in tonal research for the new 4300.

Three-dimensiona! models of sound waves are
constructed to permit the research staff to see
what the oar hears.

Another step was checking the wave form shap-
ing network. Having simulated a voice of the
Mighty Wurlitzer for the 4300 electronic spinet
organ, an acoustical engineer measures the accu-
racy of the wave form.

One of the many tests made in checking tone was
conducted in an anechoic chamber, where experts
checked the authenticity of the sound oi the 4300
compared to that of the Mighty Wurlitzer.
