Farfisa Professional Duo (c. 1970s)
Documentation on the Farfisa Professional Duo is thin. Much of what circulates today comes from used-market listings and demo videos, not period literature. What the record does show is that this was the flagship model among the dual-keyboard instruments in Farfisa's Professional line. It was a transistor organ with a "rich analog sound" that players still seek out for its classic vintage organ tone.
The Duo is a dual-manual design with full-size 61-key keyboards, and it typically appears with its own pedalboard. Listings over the years have called it a "combo organ" and a "dual keyboard organ." One craigslist seller noted it came "with its own pedalboard but no seat or speaker." A workshop listing from Organ Studio mentions a Professional Duo with stand, "delivered fully revised and with 12 months of warranty" - so there is enough of a following to support restoration work. Used prices have ranged from $600 to $999.99 in recent listings, the latter marked pickup-only.
Beyond that, the record is sparse. No original price, exact production years, or detailed specifications (power output, dimensions, weight) have surfaced. The exact number of manuals isn't explicitly stated in the sources either, though "dual-manual" strongly implies two. Demo videos on YouTube show the instrument still being played, including one titled "Farfisa Professional Duo combo organ - light my fire test." A Farfisa.org post points to a channel where a player "tears up a Farfisa Pro Duo." One seller noted, "this might be fun to tinker with."
