Also used for keyboard and Accordeon. The amp works perfectly. Hard-to-find to find because of superior class, built in few specimens and, at that time, quite expensive. Of unusual construction elegance, rare at the time. Now in perfect working conditios.

The Farfisa brand name is commonly associated with a series
of compact electronic organs, and later, a series of multi-timbral synthesizers.
At the height of its production, Farfisa operated three factories to produce
instruments, in Ancona in the Marche region of Italy. Farfisa also made radios,
televisions, and other electronic items.The Farfisa brand name is an acronym for
"FAbbriche Riunite di FISArmoniche", which translates to "united factories of
accordions".
Farfisa first started manufacturing electric organs in 1964. Distribution in the
U.S. was handled by the Chicago Musical Instrument Co, which also owned Gibson,
and the instruments were originally known as CMI organs when first introduced
there. Unlike other combo organs, such as the Vox Continental, Farfisa organs
have integrated legs, which can be folded up and stored inside its base. The
first models to be produced were the Compact series of organs between 1964 and
1968. The range of FAST (Farfisa All-Silicon Transistorized) organs was launched
at the 1968 NAMM show, and production of the Professional series appeared around
the same time. Production of combo organs ended in the late 1970s after
synthesizers had become more commonplace.
