Sorry I am a Belgian who speaks very badly English. :)

lately i found what I thought of being a upright piano, but it seems that it is other thing. Anyone would have an idea, information or information on this part.

Your English is far better than my Belgian! Are there any names on or in the instrument? Have you looked inside?
I play for my own amazement... :piano;

The name says it all really, it's a combined piano and organ. There have been many different ones made since the 1760s.
