Mad Scientist Keyboard Revival

08/08/2025

This beautiful instrument was brought into our shop from it's original owner, which is always a distinct and rare honor! He bought it brand new in 1977. It's always been lovingly cared for, but was suffering from the environmental factors that all instruments do, after nearly 50 years of exposure to air, humidity, heat, cold... Even getting minimal play time, she needed the works, and we at Mad Scientist gave it all the love!

Mad Scientist Keyboard Revival presents:
A freshly restored Wurlitzer 200 and a Russian Faemi 1M synth! Listen to that output! This direct audio, with no effects, compression, or EQ. Just the straight signal from each instrument, panned slightly left and right.

We restored this Wurlitzer fairly completely:
action regulation
hammer refacing
action center treatment
rebuilt sustain pedal
brand new Warneck 200 amp (replacing a very early Vintage Vibe solution)
added 200A-style reebd bar shields
replaced tons of reeds
voicing and tuning

The Faemi just got a light servicing, and went from generally unplayable, to quirky with some really usable sounds. She's a quirky beast!

Bring your vintage keyboard to us in Atlanta for complete restoration!

Polishing off a 200A restoration for Pablo Backline in Charlotte, NC

Lots of noodling here. Hard earned! This baby came in with tons of wear. Broken reeds all over the place, fatigued reeds, siezed up action, all sorts of regulation issues, a dangling faceplate, busted pedal - the works!
