The Hydraulis was the first organ not the first keyboard instrument, it used holes not a keyboard to alter wind pressure by displacing water.

I'm sorry to say you're mistaken. The Hydraulis *was* indeed operated by wooden keys. It utilized water and air pressure to produce sound. When the wooden keys were pressed, air would be squeezed through a wind-trunk leading up into a network of pipes. If you really want to know more about the Hydraulis, visit my website, and then click the "Piano History" tab.

WOW! I just caught your response (5 months late). Sorry to correct you but the Hydraulis was *INDEED* the first keyboard instrument... it used a series of wooden keys (the A, B, C, D, E, F & G notes) to release the air pressure that flowed through its organ pipes. And guess what? When you pressed down on one of these wooden keys... it created SOUND* So the Hydraulis WAS the first organ AND the first keyboard instrument. Thank You!

The Piano sucks, the Harpsichord and the Organ own the paino

Well, everyone's entitled to their opinion. Some people are "guitar people", some people love the sax. But keep in mind, the organ and harpsichord *still* were NOT the first keyboard instruments. The undisputed original keyboard instrument was the Hydraulis.
