Home > Wurlitzer


 

Wurlitzer is a brand of organ that was played in 1920's theaters for silent movies. It was often rigged up to other instruments in the room that could be played as the organist at the console pulled out various stops. Known as the Mighty Wurlitzer for its powerful ability to swell and induce the right feeling in the audience of the silent film.

Because of its capability to play instruments around the room in synchrony and manipulate the audience's feelings, the term "Mighty Wurlitzer" has been used to describe the disinformation networks used by governments.
