Farfisa organ

[paulj0557]

I have a FAST 4 and when I looked up the prices the Fast 3 was around $475. The FAST 4 was $749! Crazy high price for 1968, but these are so well made. First of all the whole organ frame is aluminum. There is a steel rectangle frame about 2 inches that sits over the keys & under the plastic covered aluminum top. All of the circuit boards are indexed into slotted partitions w/ plenty of wire to facilitated repairs. Oscillators are under the keyboard on a hinged tray. It swings down-2 chrome knobs

Nice part but I also need a fast third

[nanalunamusicas]

[popopapipopu]

[ericmstefani]

[jmm1000]

[slothedog]

We named our Organ trio after this organ.. check us out - myspace(.)com/fastthree

[Denvermorgan2000]

I think farfisa sounds like a sqeaky door

[Papadepapo]

what farfisa?

[Saddox]

The organ is marked C3 132.. FAST 3 is the modelname I think. Not my organ, just tested it.

[FlametopFred]

I had a FAST 3 for over twenty years. The first keyboard I owned. Helped me to get my foot in the door of many rock bands.

It was a love/hate relationship that I now look back on fondly. Many thanks.

If that is not the audio for the Farfisa FAST 3 shown in the picture, what organ are we listening to?

[Saddox]

The organ is marked C3 132 and I thought that was the "Fast 3". The audio is from the organ in the pictures.

[slickluw88]

[Saddox]

C3 132.. Fast 3.. :)

[Skaliwag66]

Ray Manzerek played a Gibson G101 organ on Light my Fire

[john58lennon]

Actually Ray used a vox continental until 1968 when he switched to a gibson g101 because the keys on his conti kept breaking on him being the plastic ones that were on the american model though he could have just switched to a uk for wooden keys but i guess he didn't know that or he wanted a change.

[codenamehiddenmeadow]

and there sound never exactly was the same....

[topexxan]

not a vox continental ?

[mellotrongirl]

the older ones are heavy metal. I mean, they are Heavy! They should have little wheels on one end so you can tow 'em around in airports.

[00700ORION]

Yes, those "portable" organs are bulky. But if they have those little wheels inside them (I mean tonewheels :)) ) they become even havier like real Hammond monsters.

[Darbyjack]

Vox Continental vs Farfisa... what would you say?

[Saddox]

I haven´t tried all organs in the world but I would rather have the Vox.

[00700ORION]

Vox Continental is the Doors sound.

Farfisa Compact Duo is early Pink Floyd.

IMHO equally great organs but with different character. Vox has sunny voice (Light My Fire) and Farfisa more of hypnotic nature (Live at Pompei).

[carloscheesey]

CCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLL!!!

[Saddox]

Yepp.. but not mine. I have others.

[lawtrip]

that shit looks dope

[Saddox]

it´s very fine.. though.. not mine.. I have others.

[gillesbertacco]

Cool! Love combo organs...
