‘ Positive ’ pipe organs have recently been installed in the Basilica, Invercargill, and in the Catholic church, Wrey’s Bush. -Both instruments were supplied by Messrs. Chas. Begg and Co., Ltd., ’Dunedin, the sole New Zealand agents for the ‘ Positive ’ organs. Mr. Thos. Ritchie, of Bcgg’s, Dunedin, opened both instruments, and he brought out to the fullest extent the beauty of tone and wonderful variety of effects which the ‘ Positive ’ is capable of producing. The solo and pedal stops enable the performer to bring out the melody or bass notes above the other parts, and as there is but one keyboard, the average organist can play the ‘ Positive ’ with excellent effect. Dean Burke and Father Lynch are both well pleased with the new instruments, which certainly add much to tlie beauty and efficiency of the musical portion of the Church service
