Inspired by the sound of the legendary Wurlitzer 200A, Rhodes Wurli is a deeply musical recreation of the iconic reed-based electric piano sound
Timeless Tone, Modern Performance
Rhodes Wurli draws on the character of legendary reed-based electric pianos introduced in the 1970s — celebrated for their compact design, midrange-forward bite, and dynamic, expressive tone. Its unmistakable tone became a fixture on classic records by artists like Ray Charles, Joni Mitchell, Elton John, Supertramp, and Beck — and continues to inspire musicians working across many genres today.
“As part of our ever-expanding library of classic instruments, we’re proud to share our own take on the iconic reed-based electric piano,” says Dan Goldman, Chief Product Officer at Rhodes Music. “Sampled by the same expert team behind the Rhodes V8 and Anthology plug-ins, Rhodes Wurli brings the 200A to a whole new level of musicality and playability. Paired with Anthology’s powerful sound-shaping tools, effects, and intuitive interface, the result is something truly special — raw, warm, and beautifully expressive.”
Vintage Feel, Contemporary Control
Built on the same robust engine as Rhodes Anthology, Rhodes Wurli features a vintage-style interface that nods to the original’s front panel design. Retro LED indicators, classic rotary dials, and intuitive navigation create a UI that balances nostalgia with modern workflow enhancements.
Users can dial in unique textures using tools like:
- Timbre Shift: Revoice the instrument in real time.
- Global Tune: Match your session’s tuning with precision.
- Authentic Vibrato: Modeled after the classic hardware circuit for added vintage warmth.
Rhodes Wurli also introduces two new authentic models of the 200A’s amplifier and front-facing panel mounted speakers — known for their midrange bite and natural breakup — alongside the amp models already familiar to Rhodes users.
