No, it's a Vox Continental as shown in the video. Vox Connies are very distinct as they have a lot of "rip"
to their sound, where as other combo organs like the Farfisa at the time were smoother and less
"shreddy". And a Vox Continental is the most famous combo organ, which are all electronic organs
designed in the early-mid 60s to replace the famous and amazing, but super-heavy Hammond B3 organ.
Of course, the sound is far from that of a Hammond, and they grew popular in their own right in the
garage/psych scene of the 60s. Ray Manzarek of the Doors used a Connie for most of the studio albums,
so the Doors sound is mostly a Continental. He switched to a G101 for live use, but their self-titled is
100% Vox goodness. Combo organs were all but gone by 1970, except in garage groups and further out
music, especially some german groups of the Krautrock subgenre in the early 70s like Can and Tangerine
Dream. I've heard some in modern psych and indie groups, but their heyday will always have been the
late 60s. Source: Huge vintage keyboard nerd/collector
