Paramount Iceland has what may be the only pipe organ currently playing regularly in any ice skating arena in the country. The Wurlitzer organ was first installed in 1941. The organ itself is believed to have been built in the 1920’s.
In preparation for a musical presentation in June of 2005 for the American Theatre Organ Society’s 50th annual convention in Los Angeles, the organ was extensively restored. Many thanks to Peter Crotty, Larry Grundy and others who contributed countless hours to preservation, restoration and enhancement of this magnificent instrument.
