Farfisa Compact Organ – Vintage Classic with Provenance (Boz Boorer / Morrissey Video / Ray Manzarek Signed)

Up for sale is a classic Farfisa Compact organ with truly exceptional provenance — a piece that sits at the intersection of vintage tone and music history.

This particular instrument came from Boz Boorer (Morrissey’s guitarist) and was used in the video for “Spent The Day in Bed.” While it doesn’t feature on the recording itself, it appears on-screen as part of that production.

What makes this organ especially unique is the signature of Ray Manzarek (The Doors) — a fitting connection given his iconic use of the Farfisa sound. The signature includes his characteristic addition of “The Doors,” making this a highly desirable piece for collectors of both vintage keyboards and rock memorabilia.

The instrument has also been professionally overhauled, ensuring it performs exactly as it should — stable, reliable, and ready for studio use.

Sonically, the Farfisa Compact delivers that unmistakable reedy, punchy tone heard across 60s and 70s rock, garage, and psychedelia — a fantastic addition for producers looking to capture authentic vintage character.

Condition:

The organ is in good vintage condition overall. Cosmetically, there are some cracks to the plastic housing on the top of the keyboard, consistent with the brittleness that can develop over roughly 60 years. These are purely cosmetic and do not affect functionality.

This is a rare opportunity to own a vintage instrument with genuine, traceable history — equally suited to display, recording, or both.

Feel free to get in touch for more details, photos, or verification of provenance. Serious enquiries welcome.
