Catalogue Illustration of a
Wurlitzer Style 32
Concert PianOrchestra
Philipps Pianella Model 32 (Cäecilia)

Circa 1908 catalogue illustration of a Wurlitzer style 32 Concert PianOrchestra.

Catalogue illustration circa 1908. The Philipps Model 32 Pianella was alternately known as the Model Cäecilia, which was the namesake of the large P.C. series of Pianella orchestrions. Wurlitzer designated this model as a Wurlitzer Style 32 Concert PianOrchestra.

Curiously, the exact instrument described in this section is the same one photographed and used to make the original Wurlitzer catalogue illustrations. This was determined by analyzing and matching the wood grain patterns to the catalogue illustrations.
