Thanks for starting the new thread! Mike rocks! What is a farfisa?

[foxybabygirl]

No clue

[~*Carrie*~]

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't know what that is.

[foxybabygirl]

Where did you hear that word? Or see it?

[quaist]

It's in the OP under Instruments... I wonder how such a thing looks like.

[beckyjo]

Hmmm i do wonder i too have never heard of such a thing

[quaist]

I searched for it in Wikipedia, and here is what it tells:

Farfisa is a brand name for a series of electronic organs and later multitimbral keyboards, made in Ancona in the Marche region of Italy. The organs were marketed for years in the United States by the Chicago Musical Instrument Company.



Looks pretty much like a normal Keyboard, I think.
