Farfisa Fast 2

The cheapest of the Farfisa Fast Series organs, the Fast 2 may just be the cheesiest organ I have ever heard. That Farfisa bite of the earlier Compact Series is gone, leaving you only with a smooth cheeseball sound. I think they were trying to make the line sound more like the Vox organs, but I don’t think they quite hit it. It still sounds good through a distortion pedal, but this one, she is not used so much.

The cheesiest of sounds? Yup. The coolest of looks? Absolutely, second only to the Cordovox White Elephants, the dual tone orange and blue of the Fast 2 still makes this one in demand. Every detail was laid down for the looks on this one, right down to little orange balls on the feet of the legs.

Did you know that there are internal speakers on these? There are two, with an additional volume pot if you take off the plastic piece from the bottom of the organ.

  1. Hey there I’m not sure if anyone is out there but … do you have any idea if anyone wants a FAST 2. I have one in mint condition. Even still has the music wire stand on the top deck… all pics I’ve seen are missing it. I’m a guitar and harp player and even though I love retro stuff I don’t play keys and this is just a large paper weight right now. Shoot me a reply and i’ll fire back some pics. thanks
