"Keyboard" can describe any number of instruments. The organ, in the classical sense, is a wind instrument. The piano is a percussion instrument as is the harpsichord, clavichord and virginal although the strings of the harpsichord are plucked so it has been said that the harpsichord falls into the same class as harp. Electronic organs are electronic instruments. However Hammond (and other) tone wheel organs are electro-mechanical instruments. Some pipe organs contain electronically generated voices so they are considered hybrid instruments.
