A massive musical instrument,
Where does it usually appear?
Grand concert halls, elegant theatres,
Or a quiet exhibition center.
Anyway, not in an unexpected place --
ZAMBONI indoor ice rink
And at the Zamboni indoor rink,
There's one on display
Unique large keyboard instrument -
"THE MIGHTY WURLITZER PIPE ORGAN",
A giant WURLITZER organ
pipe organ,
It's an air-singing keyboard instrument popular in Europe,
It is one of the oldest Musical Instruments in the world.
The organ was loud and imposing,
The tone is graceful and solemn,
Pressure can be applied through a blower
Circulation of different sound tubes
To produce different pitches, different timbre,
Can simulate the orchestra such as woodwind, brass, etc
Sounds of all instruments, playing rich harmonies,
He is known as the "King of Musical Instruments".
The organ that sits at the Zamboni Rink has a long history,
The exterior design is full of classical atmosphere,
It seems a little out of place with its surroundings,
And just right to form a kind of
The unique beauty of harmony.
On the walls of the organ house,
Displaying a poster,
It says:
"A huge WURLITZER organ --
Iceland has probably the only organ that is still regularly played at the ice arena today."
"Wurlitzer organ first installed in 1941"
"One of two rooms filled with instruments used to support the organ console."
By leaving traces of time on the organ
And the posters on the wall
Playing the music next to the skating rink
It used to be a popular thing
Paula of Zamboni explains so vividly,
The ancient power that keeps this organ running
-- Leather bellows,
Used in the past to make fires, squeeze air out,
Move the engine up and down,
And then power the pump like a hydraulic.
Paula also showed us how to crack this huge instrument
When the crisp, clear music played,
It's not hard to imagine,
If you play this organ in the rink,
It will inject a unique flavor and atmosphere into the ice rink.
When figure skaters dance gracefully,
And its melody slowly began to sound,
Set off the smooth and melodious dance;
While the hockey players were crashing into each other,
Then the music began,
Makes score swings more exciting;
And while speed skaters are racing against the clock,
Its notes join in,
Adding to the urgency of the game.

They actually have something in common
With its long history, classic works,
Bring pleasure to all
It leaves an unforgettable memory
