Why Takaanini sounds like this
A basketball bounces on a sprung floor, then an arena organ plays a quick riff. Bruce Pulman Arena in Takaanini is one of Auckland's busiest indoor courts, full of school and club games most nights of the week. The riff is the one an arena organist plays when the home side scores.
Inside the chime
Takaanini's chime runs about 4 seconds, in two parts. Every station's chime ends on its family's signature, so you can tell roughly where you are by ear.
