For your consideration is a vintage Farfisa Combo Compact 61-Key Organ.
As a guitar store, we have done our best to test out and report it's condition and order, but ultimately we are still guitar players (and a bass player) at the end of the day, ha!
The organ does turn on and make sounds, but is not in "perfect" working order. The different "pipe" lengths (octaves) are in good working order. The chorus, vibrato and reverb also work. Switching the different sounds works, you just need to make sure the two "boosters" are toggled off. Some of the keys on some of the settings (always the same note, but at different octaves), are rather distorted and down-tuned, almost like a dial-up/fax machine sound. The original pitch will be quieter, and it almost sounds like a ring-mod, but ONLY at that specific note.
The bass pedal board, although in great shape and great build quality, does not seem to work when plugged in. The black bass keys on the left work when the floor board is NOT plugged in, and when it is plugged in, the keys work but the output is SUPER soft and low. We are deciding to include the bass pedals with the sale as-is, perhaps the new owner can repair or resolve the issue.
It has been brought to our attention that the bass pedal board may be for a later version of this model, but we are still including it in the sale. If you're interested in purchasing the pedal board outright, please contact us.
It appears that the cross bar that goes between the legs is missing, so the organ is a little wobbly when assembled. It won't fall over, but again, is quite wobbly.
There also seems to be a pitch bending mechanism that hangs from the right side of the organ that you can move with your knee...this does not seem to be working as there is no affect on the sound.
The organ does fold up into itself and although rather heavy, seems to be a well designed instrument for travel.
Ultimately, this would need to be gone through and tuned up by the new owner!
