Farfisa Syntorchestra
Brand: Farfisa
Sorry it's gone. We may have another in stock or on the way. Please enquire below (or check our weekly Gear Update for incoming rarities).
Super rare Farfisa Syntorchestra for sale in very good condition - one of the most iconic synths used in Krautrock - most prominently by Klaus Schulze and Cluster/Harmonia - but also by Vangelis, JM Jarre, etc.
Nothing else sounds or behaves quite like it - the layering of the mono and poly sounds is great - add some (ok, lots) of tape delay and you're in krautrock heaven.
There are two sections: strings (polyphonic), and mono preset synth voices. Pair the strings with a Schulte Compact Phasing phaser and you'll hit alpha centauri in no time. For a more minimal pastoral vibe, try some slow, hypnotic tinkling with the odd staccato piano through an analog delay. The kraut tricks and treats are endless with this bad boy... We have one in the studio and are not parting with it.
CONDITION: In very good cosmetic condition. There is some wear to the black decals, the case has some minor scuffs and scrapes. No case lid. See photos for more information on cosmetic condition.
230v unit.
Lots of good info can be found here.

"Excellent equipment, wonderful service. I fully recommend Soundgas to anyone in the vintage gear market and I will definitely be a return customer. The gear itself was exactly as advertised and in great condition."
DAVID WRENCH
“I’ve bought a number of items from Soundgas recently, and have been really impressed with their service. It takes the stress out of buying vintage gear to know it’s been properly (and faithfully) serviced or restored. Their after-sales service has also been exemplary. Highly recommended.”
TOM JOHNSTON
Fantastic. From initial contact to the product landing at my door the service provided was outstanding. Safe and secure shipping, quality serviced product.

"Finally, a company that tracks down all those brilliant curiosities that bring so much character and personality to a studio."

“Imagine the perfect eBay.... with everything you never knew you wanted… and you can rest assured that your vintage and rare wobbly sound device will turn up on time and in one piece and possibly in even better condition that when it left the workshop. Soundgas - literally amazing."
