The organ pictured is the actual one you will receive!
At The Farm, we take actual pictures of each instrument and make sure they are fully set-up and ready to play before we ship them. Each instrument goes through a multi-point inspection, followed by a set-up process by our in-house tech staff. We then photograph each instrument with high-quality equipment in our on-site photography studio. We know that details like wood grain and color finishes can vary, so we want you to be able to see, to the best of our ability, exactly what you will be receiving.
This process takes over an hour for each instrument - from inspection to pictures. We care about the instrument we put into your hands! Rest assured your organ was not just plucked off of a shelf and drop-shipped to you from a warehouse without the care that it, and you, deserve.
Farfisa offered the Combo Compact from roughly 1964-1970. Below is the descritption from one of Farfisa's catalogs about the Combo Compact.
The Combo Compact
Its sleek, modern handsome design and attractive colors suit the COMBO COMPACT to the smartest surroundings. Constructed of hi-impact polystyrene and covered with heavy vinyl, this unique electronic instrument is practically impervious to mars, cracks, or scratches. Set up for use, the COMBO COMPACT is 38″ long, 18″ wide and 51″ high.
The entire unit folds easily into a single carrying case that weighs just 70 pounds. The legs fold into the bottom of the keyboard console. Storage space for the swell pedal and the 13-note pedalboard (optional extra) is contained in the lid.
The swinging rhythm and driving beat of today’s music make the new electronic COMBO COMPACT a “natural” for young groups who play this modern sound. Its unique Multi-Tone Booster gives tremendous attack and “edge” by boosting the upper frequencies, highly desirable in arrangements popular with many young groups. The COMBO COMPACT is the modern sound for which they are looking!
However, the fully polyphonic COMBO COMPACT is a versatile keyboard instrument suited to a wide range of professional expression. Its 12-note Manual Bass enables the player to obtain authentic organ pedal sounds without using the footpedals. Full organ pedal sounds are produced with the 13-note pedalboard, an optional extra. The COMBO COMPACT is easy-to-play. Used with an amplifier, it puts to work all the features – like tremolo and reverb – found on the amplifier.
Hi-Tone Booster
This feature produces tremendous edge and unusual hi-frequency “wows” by boosting the upper frequencies. It’s a perfect for today’s younger groups.
Actuated by a knee-lever located beneath the right side of the keyboard console, the HI-TONE BOOSTER immediately cuts out the actual organ voices and basic 16′, 8′, and 4′ voices can be used individually or in unison.
Earphone Feature For Silent Practice
Practice sessions without disturbing others are a simple matter. The player simply plugs earphones into the convenient built-in jack socket on the left end panel of the keyboard.

- 49 Full Sized Keys (4 Octaves C to C)

This Combo Compact has been tested and everything functions as expected. Internally the electronics make the F sharp keys come out as A's. This has probably been an issue its whole life, as it most likely was mistakingly built this way in the factory. All of the keys play and it has a super cool vintage sound, just don't play the F sharp key and you'll never know! it does not have the pedal unit, but does have the legs and case.
At The Music Farm, we take quality seriously! That is why we have our in-house technicians do a multi-point inspection on each product, ensuring that it'll be ready to plug and play!
