It's (at least) 3 Farfisa organs playing the same notes together, plus the Solina. At least to my ears. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

In Changeling Oldfield mentions that he was introduced to the Solina String Synth when the Edgar Broughton Band visited him at The Beacon. Maybe the first appearance is on In Dulci Jubilo For Maureen. Back to top

Farfisa, Lowrey & Gemini Organs - to be precise. There was already a discussion about the use of organs which you can find here. Edited by manintherain on Mar. 29 2011, 07:17 Back to top

The Italian name of the accordion is fisarmonica and Farfisa is an Italian company who made fisarmonicas (accordions) before becoming famous all over the world for its electronic organs. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top
