This one has me miffed. Bought it because I thought it was a case for a 200a, but I did notice when I picked it up it seemed small.

It has the identical electronic piano logo on the case as on a 200a, but it doesn't fit. Does anyone know what this case is suppose to go to?  It even has 4 slots for legs, but the legs stick way up outside of the case.

What a Bummer!

Was it expensive?

I've never seen a case like this before. The only Wurli model I know of that it might fit would be the 106P, a student model with a short keyboard:

The case Wurli made for the 200 series was a hard shell model, sold as an option, and very rarely seen.  You can see a photo of it on one of the first few pages of the 200 series service manual:

Maybe this was meant to hold the pedal, music rack and legs ( lying down) . ??

I saw this case on ebay. I told the seller it was about 9 inches short for a 200. I guess they didn't mention this.  >:(

I have an original Wurlitzer 200 wooden hard shell case.  I bought it to complete the full set with my piano. It looks a lot like a Fender Rhodes case. The legs, music rack, bench and bench legs all fit inside this case. I will attempt to post pictures of it tomorrow. I have yet to figure out how to post a picture on this forum.

I don't use the case. I might be willing to sell it. I was planner on having an Anvil style case made for my 200. I will post the case for sale in the proper section.

I picked up my first Wurly over the weekend, and it came with this case as well as a case for the actual piano that looks just like it. This case is for the legs, sustain pedal, bench, and music stand. The sleeves in the corners are for the bench legs.

for a 200 then? I would be curious to see what the inside of the case looks like. Is the case leather? Is it padded?

Ben Bove

I'm highly surprised at 2 manufactured cases for the 200a.  Looks like I got the accessories case.

I just bought that accessories case, and I am hoping the wurly legs will fit in it, longways.  That slightly bigger case looks too small to fit an actual Wurly in it??

Great, glad it went to someone who'd appreciate it.

I was tempted but I knew the postage would sting me.

I wish it HAD gone to me.  He sold it to someone else and will apparently refund my $20.  (It was a misunderstanding about postage, which I'd have happily paid.)

I'd love one, if anyone hears of one....
