Performers wear down jackets and play ice instruments, In fact , almost everything from drums and guitars to horns and harps at the music festival is carved(刻) from ice even the stage the musicians play on. The audience sits on ice chairs and benches and claps their hands to listen , both to praise the performers and to keep themselves warm when the air flows through. The musical instruments used were almost entirely made by an American ice artist, Tim Linhart.Since he created his first musical instrument out of ice more than a decade ago , he has already carved various ice instruments, including violins, violas, timber drum sets, xylophones, double basses ,mandolins and cellos. He also created his own large wind instrument, which uses the vibration of an ice tube(管子) to produce sound when the air flows through. Linhart makes the different parts of the ice instrument and then uses a liquid mixed with snow to glue them together, with a metal support placed where the strings need to be. A violin can usually be made in two or three weeks, while larger instruments can take more time and efforts, sometimes taking months to make. An ice instrument has a clearer sound than a wooden instrument. However, ice instruments are more easily broken or damaged than ordinary instruments. The temperature in the ice theater changes depending on the number of people in the audience, This also changes the temperature of the ice instruments , which in turn affects the sound they produce. Musicians need to tune their instruments frequently during performances. Although playing an ice instrument is not easy, Linhart believes that ice and snow are good materials for making instruments. The only downside is melting when the temperature is above freezing. 1. What is special about the music festival? A. It attracts only the locals. B. It usually lasts two months. C.
