Hi, I am looking for someone to identify what make and model the keyboard synthesizer/sampler in these photos is. Cheers

Definitely a suitcase unit. Pretty cool. Whats the video?

Looks like some vintage combo organ to me. Some of the Farfisas look similar (not saying definitely it is a Farfisa, though

).

It's an old Italian electric reed/chord organ, possibly a Busilacchio. The sound is a bit accordion-like.

It looks like a Lorenzo Chord Organ

But it is not!
It also looks like a portable Busilacchio Mk2 Chord Organ, without legs:

But it is not this one
it is this one :

J. Busilacchio Electric Reed/Chord Organ Mk 2
Micke was spot on, as usual ...
Can you spot the differences

Nice to see Micke is still around, solving every "guess the synth" thread.
I recall you solved a Welson string machine picture I posted many years ago
