HALIFAX DUO 1 Organ: Anyone know anything about this?

Post by IceOnTitan » Mon Jan 02, 2012 10:53 pm

I recently purchased this combo organ from a church, yet I can find nothing about it online other then a single picture. Anybody know of the rarity of these, or how much they would sell for in an auction?

Thanks so much guys.

This same organ and other Halifax branded models were probably more commonly sold under the Welson brand name. They were actually built by Quagliardi in Castelfidardo, Italy. In addition to combo organs there were Welson accordions, electric guitars, and Synthesizers. Quagliardi also manufactured electric guitars for the Vox, Eko, and Wurlitzer brand names. The Welson name was used because it was more English/American friendly.
