This is impossible to say as the organ gradually evolved over thousands of years into the instrument it is today. The first 'organ' as such was the panpipes - a set of pipes bound together and blown across. They are still made and played today - especially in South American countries like Peru. The first evidence of the air being provided by and the pipes being played by some sort of mechanism, is in the hydraulus of ancient Greece and Rome - so called because the wind was provided by running water displacing air from a large container. The hydraulus eventually, over hundreds of years evolved into the primitive pipe organ winded by bellows pumped by an organist's assistant. Later, the pumping system became mechanised and electrified using an electric pump. At the same time the mechanical action was replaced by pneumatic systems and then electrical systems. As ppipe organs are expensive both to buy and to maintain, the electronic organ became popular in the 60s and 70s but its tone was very different from a pipe organ. However, with today's digital instruments using sampled sound, the sound they produce is almost identical with the original instrument - but at a fraction of the cost.
