If anyone is interested, pm me. Asking $100. I bought it for $230 at the swap shop a few months ago, but I dont drive and I need to carry my keyboard about on my bike..so it just ain't suitable. The easy chord doesn't work (I bought it not working), and there is no stand, but apart from that its all roses.
This pic is from the internet, but I can provide real ones if needed.
How much to post it to Brisbane?
i have a couple of these (bravo and super bravo) and they're pretty neat sounding little beasts. shame about the easychord but i personally don't use it much..
I reckon it would cost a fair bit to post to brisbane, sorry I should have mentioned; looking for a Melbourne buyer.
Yeah, when i bought it there was another one which had the easy chord working, however for some reason the sound coming out of this one was far superior (and louder), so I figured i could just play the chords like a real man if need be.
I have one of these but it stopped working a few years ago. Anyone know a cheap repair shop in Melbourne?
I've got a Superbravo (just like the photo), it's excellent, mine was about $80 I think but that was a long time ago. I've had it about 12 years, still works fine (though it can be a bit dodgy when first used after a long break). You can hear a track I recorded with it here.
Thanks for the Farfisa props guys. I should mention what i am selling is the Bravo not super-Bravo, but from the looks (and sounds, compliments of LeRAyonVert) there isn't much to pick from them. There is nothing to stop you.. excepting inspiration!!... to sound just like the above link! The price is ONO.
Argh PMing now!
all the bravo owners need to get together and do a version of steve reich's ''four organs''
did this get sold?
No, not yet. GC is going to check it out if it is still available when she comes to melbourne late june. So still available!
oooerr now have I Love My Farfisa by Electrelane in my head. Wants.
I remember that when I got Stereolab's Refried Ectoplasm compilation there were all these references to Farfisas in the credits (and a song called Farfisa) and I had no idea what it was! I asked my housemate and she didn't know either.
It was pretty exciting the day I found one in cash converters (I did already know what it was by then). This was right in the middle of the era of post-rock vintage equipment fetishism ... I was very proud to become a Farfisa owner. Making chunky chord sounds like stereolab, or running the percussion through effects to get Tortoise style electro-dubby sounds. Fun times.
And then there was the day I went out to buy a watermelon and came home with a Casiotone 101 ... but that's another story. Suffice to say that any keyboard with fake wood panelling is worth a try.
there's lots of different farfisas

the Compact is the king
just quietly, i think that anything with fake wood panelling is worth a try.
hi. bring it back to the swop shop and we can re-sell it if you like
That link to all the Farfisas is good, I like the looks of the Matador and the Commando. Don't think much of their dissing of the Superbravo percussion, it's a bit crap as is but with some effects you can do some cool stuff - some examples here (and the last time I spam this thread with links to music on my blog).
Out if the running sadly. Somebody buy this!
My Farfisa Super Bravo is up on ebay at the moment
Not to be a dick, but $200 is pretty wishful in my humble opinion in the current clime.
Tell me about it. That's why I'm selling.
It's still a cheap organ for all the nifty sounds it produces.
sold my SB to andre from YIS the other day
i have a bravo as well so it seemed greedy to have both
