@Grande1Rouge It was much, much earlier. White keys were to be covered with ivory and it was expensive. Two villages expensive. So they made the bigger keys from wood covered in black wax/oil/whatever they used, and the smaller keys withc ivory covers.
Has Bish played at the Colonge Cathedral. I believe they have an organ similar to this one.

Yes, most pipe organs privious to 1980 were made this way , overseas.
They were first made by "accident" and it began as a trend

Are this organ's keys painted the reverse of standard keyboards? It seems the white keys here would be black on any other organ or piano.
