In this photo of Ray Manzarek, a Farfisa Professional (left, identified by its unique legs) can be seen in the Doors’ rehearsal space. This Farfisa can be seen in other photos and videos inside the Doors workshop, such as a 1971 segment from the Australian music show GTK. No photos or videos show Ray playing the instrument (he plays his usual Gibson G-101 in the video), but it can be assumed Ray either bought or was gifted the organ at some point late in the Doors’ career.
