Del Shannon's Runaway was played on a Clavioline, is it even worth mentioning ina Farfisa article? - July 2007

Someone should add an image of a common example. JordanZed 17:55, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Problems with this article
Farfisa reads like "Songs you might of thought were Farfisa but weren't, or at least this author says they aren't.

Has anyone tried reading this article to see how annoying it reads? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.161.179.160 (talk) 15:38, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

This article omits any mention of Farfisa's hugely more successful home organ line, that continued right up until the late eighties/early nineties. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.52.151 (talk) 16:09, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Some description of the tone generator design would be nice -- i.e., was this an all-electronic design, or did it use tone wheels like a Hammond? Were the early models all-tube, semiconductor, or hybrid? 64.81.163.112 (talk) 05:32, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

I have a Farfisa Electronic Organ Model No: 112476-3 purchased in 1978 Serial No: 55022/829. I require an On/Off switch - can anyone tell me where I can purchase such a part. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.129.59.128 (talk) 13:43, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, 6 years later this article has still the same issues. I would love to repair this article, but I haven't got the time and the English skills to do so. --Minecalpe (talk) 07:20, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * The article is a complete and utter mess. I suppose I'm probably best placed to clean it up, having got some quality sources to hand, and have already made a start on the company history, but I think I'm going to end up blowing up the list of notable users in particular, and not putting anything in that does not have a reliable source or cannot be easily verified to one.

NEED MOAR OLDFIELD
Farfisa was used by Mike Oldfield on the original loops of what became Tubular Bells. This is a placeholder to remind me to find RS for this - there's a BBC documentary that covers it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYGfaYI1n8c Guy (help! - typo?) 22:48, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Tubular Bells is now name-checked in the article. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  15:57, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Farfisa Matador AR
Hello everyone, today I've stumbled into a Farfisa AR (and I've bought it since it was complete, dirty cheap and working); since it wasn't in the list I've added it. It very late now, but I can add pictures of it asap. Awambawamb (talk) 00:23, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Mary Jane
Apparently it is a Farfisa used in this 1968 song by Willie And The Red Rubber Band. 2001:56A:FA85:3800:6082:2B0B:764D:E6ED (talk) 20:49, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

96 Tears
The organ on “96 Tears” by Question Mark and the Mysterians was a Vox Continental, not a Farfisa. A quick YouTube view is all that is needed to confirm this 67.193.193.132 (talk) 12:41, 27 March 2022 (UTC)


 * YouTube is generally not a reliable source beyond showing something might exist, not whether it is suitable for a "notable users" section of an instrument article. In any case, this section needed completely rewriting and sourcing properly, which I have now finished. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  15:57, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
