    Description

    Rare 60's Farfisa Harmonium Reed Portable Organ
    Up for auction is a very cool 1960's portable reed organ. CONDITIONS:
    The organ is
    working
    and in
    good cosmetic condition for its age
    with some inevitable signs of aging. It's a very elegant musical instrument and difficult to find in these conditions.
    There are no legs, but you can play it without them
    .
    There are no reported brands
    , but the chord buttons and leg attachments on the bottom are certainly by
    Busilacchio.
    Busilacchio
    was the Italian brand that produced many legendary instruments, including the ultra rare Busilacchio “MiniBasso” piano. Based in Marche, Italy, in the same area where
    Elka, Eko, Elgam, Farfisa, Crumar, Jen, Siel, Solton, CRB, Bontempi, Antonelli,
    etc. were born.
    DESCRIPTION:
    This is a cool harmonium organ in its
    cream finish suitcase
    . Turn it on and a fan starts pumping a cool breeze across your fingers and you’re ready to go
    . It has a great sound – effectively it’s a harmonium without the bellows, or a horizonal accordion
    . The air gets pumped over metal reeds which results in a rich sound!
    It's probably a
    Busilacchio Mk II
    chord organ as
    the chord plate is in gold finish
    and the
    buttons are square
    .
    In short, this organ is a lot of fun. It has a
    wonderful melancholy sound
    which evokes such musical
    greats as
    Daniel Johnston, Ivor Cutler and Beirut!
    This is your chance to get your hands on a super rare portable organ!
    THE DIMENSIONS Of THIS ARE 28" x 12" x 8"   WEIGHT APPROX. 20  LBS. (w/ packing materials)
    Very hard to let this one go, but it's not getting enough use and it's just time to move on.
    SELLING THIS AS-IS, W/ ALL SALES FINAL.  THIS WILL BE CAREFULLY PACKED BUT DUE TO IT'S AGE THERE ARE NO RETURNS.  PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS, THERE ARE NO RETURNS. THANKS FOR LOOKING!!!
