I think this is a suction-system reed organ, also known as "American organ". The classic harmonium ‒ named from Debain's 1842 patent ‒ is a compression-system instrument. The difference is in the direction of the wind: sucked through the reeds or pushed through them. Indian harmoniums are compression-system.
But whatever the details of the instrument, it's a gorgeous sound and a wonderfully imaginative performance. Thank-you!
That organ sound is positively otherworldly (in a good way I mean)! It sounds like music at a dance party thrown by goblins (trolls?^^). Which is a way of saying I love it, it's so different.
@nubnub No, but it's very common in both Sweden and Norway (Rydberg and Idenstam are Swedish). I think its origin is European. It's also very common in India as the portable harmonium. Check out harmonium and reed organ (another name for pump organ) on Wikipedia!
