Farfisa Soundmaker - Italian Analogue Mono-Poly synth


via this auction

"Built from 1979 to 1981, this thing cost around £900 new (this model was bought in 1982, I think I've got the receipt somewhere!) which put it in competition with some pretty serious hardware. It also explains why it's so rare. It was in production until just before MIDI, the Prophet 600 and Juno 106 came along, but looks like it's from an entirely different era. The whole keyboard and front panel are angled slightly forwards, as it was designed to sit on top of a combo organ or piano (although a snazzy stand was also available as you'll see from the promotional literature included)."
