Positiv Organ

Baroque music often calls for a small moveable instrument for continuo playing, and this positiv organ built by Bond Organs of Portland in 1998 fills that role splendidly. A gift from alumna Sukey Roth Garcetti, it can be used at either baroque or modern pitch. The instrument has three stops (the bellows is under the bench) and is perfectly suited not only to its continuo role but to solo repertoire not requiring pedal.
