This instrument is called a 'harpsichord'. A harpsichord also resembles a keyboard or a piano. When you press a key, sound is produced by plucking the strings.

How is the sound produced in a harpsichord?

Sound on the harp is produced by plucking the strings. The finger plucks the string, setting it into vibration. This wave of vibration travels down the string to the wooden soundboard where it is amplified (or made louder). On Irish harps the fingernails are used to pluck. On large "pedal" harps or "concert" harps, the pad of the finger is usually used. However, there are examples of using nearly everything; from the knuckles and palms to wooden and metal tuning keys.

Is the organ a percussion instrument?

Although most keyboard instruments are considered part of the percussion family (either the hammer striking or plucking of strings) the organ is not. For most organs, the sound is produced when air rushes through the pipes across flutes or reeds. Since there is no actual percussive action involved to produce the sound, it's not considered to be a percussion instrument.
