When I first joined the forum Uncle Dave had a Farfisa G7 or something like that. He said it wasn't a bad little board and I think he used it for a while. Did they ever make a replacement? Did the go out of business? I'm just wondering.

Tom they came out with another top of the line G8, and 3 lower line models..
The distributor out of NY[Music industries] had a tough time moving the Farfisa.
I purchased around 20 of the G7's...I adventually moved them all , but it was not easy..
The list was $2,245 then, I sold the last units under $1,000...you do the math and figure how much I lost on them[I don't want to think about it anymore]..
It was a pretty neat keyboard for what it did..but I also sold Ketron X1's at the time, and they didn't compare to the X1[of course the X1 sold for twice the money,but I think it was twice as good..].

Ohhhh a G8 and other lower models???? I've always wondered what happened to Farfisa myself. Can anyone point to an online site to check them out?

Thanks,
Squeak
