The Farfisa Professional Piano was the first 'piano' I used when I first started playing keys in the mid 70's. Though called a piano, it bore little relationship to the real thing unlike today's digital offerings. The unweighted, plasticky keyboard had a certain degree of velocity sensitivity that couldn't be found on an electric organ, and about 6 (?) different sounds ranging from piano to harpsichord.
I really can't recall much about it apart from the fact that the sounds were all a bit thin and tinny and had a rather-too-short decay. The touch sensitivity was basic - it ranged from medium loud to slightly more medium loud depending on hopw hard you hit the keys - no change in timbre or decay. The was no editing capability but it did boast a split keyboard facility. No effects at all - no chorus or reverb - I used an Ibanez Phase Shifter to give it a bit of depth, and had spring reverb on old H&H amp.
One clever idea was that it came in a carrying case complete with chrome legs that were housed in the removable lid - the legs resembled those on a Vox Continental organ. The jack socket (mono of course!) was located underneath the unit so it was quite awkward to get to and the jack had a tendency to fall out in the middle of gigs.
It was basic but it set me on the road, and I've since had two Wurlitzer EP200s, a Fender Rhodes, a Roland RD200 and currently use a Roland RD600.
It's hard to give it a mark out of 5 as it was a bit of an oddity even in the 70's and there was nothing else quite like it, so I've given it a 3!
