AD on Ummagumma was recorded live. Wrightused a Farfisa Compact Duo on that and all the other songs on disk one. You cansee it on the picture with them and all their gear. I also saw them live duringtheir first American tour. He used the Farfisa during that tour. He startedusing Hammonds on the Wish You Were Here tour…

On the 8 minute Ummagumma live version there is an organ bit in the
middle that sounds like an Oboe with echo. (Very nice!) I always
thought that it was B3. (Does the Farfisa do Oboe?) Too bad the
PULSE version and the Abbey Road version are 4 minute quickies.
