Who is Rembert Wurlitzer Co.?
Rembert Wurlitzer Co. was a distinguished firm in New York City that specialized in fine musical instruments and bows.
Founded in Europe in 1856, the Wurlitzer Co. was a world-famous musical instrument company known for its many ateliers in the United States.
Rembert Rudolph Wurlitzer, violin expert and a grandson of the founder of Chicago's Wurlitzer Co., bowed out of the family firm in 1949 to found Manhattan's Rembert Wurlitzer Co., which has bought, sold, authenticated and or restored more than half the world's 600 known Stradivariuses, and supplied instruments to Fritz Kreisler, David Oistrakh and Isaac Stern among others.
"Wurlitzer had built up a first-class workshop inviting the great Simone Fernando Sacconi and his pupil Dario D'Attilli, where many of the best American repairers were trained in. In his last years Sacconi spent much time teaching in Cremona, Italy, and published I segreti di Stradivari, setting out in detail Stradivari’s working methods."
