Saw a demonstration video of this several years ago but can’t find it. they had it on display in a museum and it was a self-playing instrument, I wanna say it was similar to an accordion? but maybe something else
This isn’t the exact one but thank you!

Do you mean the sound or the mechanism of play was like an accordion? Organs can have a somewhat accordion sound. Here are some different types of organs (not Arab specifically) from Museum Speelklok. They specialize in self playing instruments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TC6YgCLvt5g&t=57
