Here's the interesting thing. I always put "Organ, Wurlitzer piano, Stylophone". The organ is a Roland, so I don't put "Hammond" (which as well as being a generic name for that kind of sound is also an active trademark), but the "piano" is a Nord Electro. I could call it "electric piano" but it isn't - it's a digital keyboard producing an electric piano sound. Calling it a "Wurlitzer piano" is OK, because it tells the potential listener what specific sound to expect, plus Wurlitzer is no longer an active trademark for this kind of instrument. When I was using a real Wurly I did in fact call it a "Wurlitzer electric piano" because that's what it was. But that's just me..
