That the "Positive" pipe organ is rapidly being recognised as the most efficient organ for churches is evident from the numbers which Messrs Ghas. Begg and Company, Limited, are placing in churches of all denominations throughout the Dominion. The latest church to be supplied with a "Positive" is the Winton Presbyterian Church. Mr Thos. Ritchie, of Begg's, gave an opening recital on the new organ there some two weeks ago, and the utmost satisfaction was expressed on all sides regarding the suitability of the instrument for the musical service of the church. Two very fine models of the "Positive" are on exhibition in Begg's piano and organ showrooms at present, and anyone who may be visiting Dunedin at an early date and who is interested in church music would find a visit to Begg's showroom wry interesting indeed. The special features of the "Positive,'' such as the solo and pedal stops ami the transposing keyboard, would gladly be demonstrated and fully : explained.***
