Although most keyboard instruments are considered part of the percussion family (either the hammer striking or plucking of strings) the organ is not. For most organs, the sound is produced when air rushes through the pipes across flutes or reeds. Since there is no actual percussive action involved to produce the sound, it's not considered to be a percussion instrument.
