Music Production: Instruments
11/30/1998 Instruments: Farfisa
I had an interesting experience over the holiday weekend--I was walking to the Post Office to send in a shareware registration, and checked out a house sale in the neighborhood, where I found a Farfisa Compact organ...for $20. It does need some restoration--about 60% of the keys don't sound in one or two of the three registers; the vibrato doesn't work; the E and Eb keys are out of tune, and I need to replace the power cord and the output cord. The name "Compact" is a bit optimistic, and the handle on the case is a cruel hoax. But it does function, and it's a Farfisa. (Just about anyone who knows me won't be surprised that I'm thrilled with this find.) Moral of the story: register your shareware.
