Organ History - Positiv Table

The “big” organ variant is positive

Positive organs include church organs, house organs or orchestra organs.

Positive organs can be transported (usually at least 2 people are required for transport)
except the large church organs.

Positive organs have 2 or more bellows

Positive organs require at least 2 "players", a musician and a bellows player.

Positive organs are played with both hands (portative organs are played with one hand, second hand plays the bellows)

One can roughly say: A positive organ is too heavy for one person to carry, it has at least 2 bellows and requires at least 2 "players"

I have divided the positive organ into 3 groups:
Positive Fixed Location
Positive Floor
Positive Table

There are very few surviving models, my templates for the 3D models are replicas of representations in historical drawings
