Original Narrative: This is a Chamber Organ formerly in the Tolbecque Collection, and belonging to the epoch of Louis XIII . The Positive Organ, as the name implies, was intended to remain in a fixed place, while the smaller portable organ (orgue portatif) was made to be carried about. The Positive Organ drawn here has been intended for chamber, not choir, use. It has three registers, and the drawstops which control them project at the right-hand side of the case the same as in the old Flemish harpsichords. The boxwood natural keys with gilded paper fronts, as seen in this specimen, were common to the earliest known key-board instruments . The dimensions of this Positive Organ, including the stand , are― height, 6 feet 4 inches ; width, 2 feet 6 inches ; and depth, 1 foot 4 inches . The paintings inside the doors are, to the left , St. Cecilia playing upon a positive organ, while three angels sing and a fourth blows the bellows ; to the right, a warrior crowned with laurel is in the attitude of listening ; outside the doors there are panels with paintings of a woman playing on an instrument of the viol kind , and another playing a flute. There is a crowing cock upon the apex of the cornice. This Positive Organ is the property of the Conservatoire Royal, Brussels. Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
