Subject:Keyboard sound on Triumvirat song

I've been listening to this song by the prog group Triumvirat from their album "Illusions On A Double Dimple" (1974). The song is "Triangle", written by their keyboardist Jürgen Fritz. I'm assuming, given the era, that he's playing some sort of tone wheel organ but I can't be sure as I don't have any info on the instruments used. He gets this neat flute effect, but it's very rough and hollow sounding. I liken it to someone blowing across the mouth of a bottle, but perhaps with some over driven Leslie "dirt" added. I was wondering if anyone had any idea what settings he would have used to get this sound as I'd like to duplicate it. Or is it possible that he did it on a synth? The percussion on the individual notes is obvious but the pedal notes he's playing has this flute effect.

I can't find this song on YouTube but you can hear it here:

Play to the shorter second selection (6:53 min. long). You can hear it at 3:08 into the song and also at 4:34. Play it loud.

Thanks.
