This is an amazing musical instrument and a fine piece of MidCentury furniture design.  This Farfisa Super Piano was made in Italy with a rare custom Danish modern Bent teak cabinet and has the matching bench. It plays as new, the action on the keys is very consistent and satisfying and everything works as new. It comes with the original manuals and the sheet music holder. The case is matched fall lines of flame teak.    While Farfisa was known for producing combo organs, the company began focusing on electronic pianos in the early 70’s. The Super Piano has 61 notes that can be split into Bass and Treble, with six different registers (piano, honky tonk, harp, clavichord, banjo and special effect). Each section has its own decay selector. To the far right of the keyboard is a beat generator with various options. Another fascinating accessory is the built-in Bell & Howell cassette recorder.  Here's a short video:    The story is a gentleman in Texas worked for Gibson Guitars and won it at a sales event. Being a guitar guy he did not know how to play it and used it as decorative furniture.   I will work with your shipper or would be willing to deliver 500 miles max for $250 (closer would be less expensive). I have a reasonable reserve and will accept cash or PayPal.
