No, it is the so-called "short octave" :
you see : E  F  F#  G  G#  A  Bb  H
you play: C  F D   G   E    A  Bb H

First octave of the keyboard has the same layout.

the two pedals on the right are for special effects (drums - in fact, two low tones with a small difference in frequency, giving a rolling sound)

Never heard of the "short octave".  Just looked into the Wiki.  It is very interesting and makes sense.  I knew about the special effects pedals from the giraffe pianos, but didn't know that organs had such pedals.

Thanks for the explanation.

Thank you, Jakov! what a wonderful shot. I had 2 minutes before being expelled by a fierce soldier and a multi language tape. Konstantin took a picture of the guy.

I found an organ picture on my smartphone.
From the context it must have been taken in our
holiday in Haarlem, NL

But I do not really remember

More hints show it was taken at 21 July 15 when I was in Haarlem
but the picture itself might well have been taken in Denmark where
my father was at the time with his wife. Then it came by WhatsApp
and was therefore automagically inserted into my WatsApp picture
folder where it is difficult to tell from my pictures...
