A compact petite baby grand from Wurlitzer, a brand more widely known for its electromechanical instruments and jukeboxes but with a long parallel history in acoustic piano manufacturing.
About the Wurlitzer C143 Petite Baby Grand
The C143's 'petite' designation places it among the smallest true grand piano sizes on the market, aimed at buyers who want an actual grand action and horizontal string layout - genuinely different from an upright's vertical design - but lack the floor space a standard or larger baby grand requires. This makes it a practical entry point into grand piano ownership for smaller rooms and apartments.
While Wurlitzer is perhaps more culturally associated with its jukeboxes and electric pianos, the company maintained a substantial acoustic piano manufacturing operation for decades, and the C143 represents that less-publicized side of the brand's history - a genuine acoustic grand rather than any connection to Wurlitzer's electric instrument lineage.

Sound character of the Wurlitzer C143 Petite Baby Grand
At around 143cm, the C143 is one of the smallest grand piano formats, meaning very short bass strings and a compact soundboard - this trades away low-end depth and sustain for a brighter, more direct, midrange-forward tone that's characteristic of petite consumer-grade baby grands rather than professional concert instruments.
