POSITIVE ORGAN MUSIC INSTRUMENT
A positive organ (also positiv organ, positif organ, portable organ, chair organ, or simply
positive, positiv, positif, or chair) (from the Latin verb ponere, "to place") is a small, usually
one-manual, pipe organ that is built to be more or less mobile. It was common in sacred
and secular music between the 10th and the 18th centuries, in chapels and small churches,
as a chamber organ and for the basso continuo in ensemble works. The smallest common
kind of positive, hardly higher than the keyboard, is called chest or box organ and is
especially popular nowadays for basso continuo work; positives for more independent use
tend to be higher.
From the Middle Ages through Renaissance and Baroque the instrument came in many
different forms, including processional and tabletop organs that have profited relatively less
from the renewed popularity the type in general has enjoyed from the Orgelbewegung
onwards.
