Your Celesta is very beautiful and has a wonderful, resonate quality to it! I am trying to build a celesta too. I don't have the budget to do lots of experiments, and was wondering exactly what kind of metal you would recommend for the bars, or if you would be willing so sell any of your old ones... I am planing on a standard range of C4 - C8.

Maravilhoso!! um abraço do Brasil,América do sul❤❤

How absolutely impressive! It sounds beautiful. I am starting my own first 4 octaves celesta project very soon. Could you share a bit of your process? Like did you use single resonators for each note or shared resonators like a Mustel? And how did you determine their measurements? And what material did you use for the sound bars? So many questions. I would be really grateful if you could answer some of them, it'd really help me out!

How’d you even get one of these man? Love ragtime on it.

What is the name of that first song?

This amazing instrument produces a beautiful sound. Having made this yourself you have achieved an extraordinary result. Do you make other instruments?

Holy cow, what a beautiful instrument. Excellent sound!

I call it a "Super Celesta" because it's a Celesta w/ an Extended Range.

I call it a "Super Celesta" because it has a bigger note range than most Celestas which allows it to be played like a Piano.

That's cool & it can be played like a Piano. I bet if we update its range to 88 Notes (A1 to C9) it can cover any Piano sheet music. My idea was for the lower notes, the resonators are Pipe shaped which are curved so that the sound would be directed towards the walls.

I think as we add more notes, we could retry Tubular Resonators & they actually will be curved & point outwards so that the sound would be directed towards the walls.

It has quite a big note range & when it gets updated to 88 Keys (A1 to C9, an Octave above a Piano) it can play any Piano sheet music. This Celesta can be played like a Piano which is quite rad.

It appears your listing felt is too much and too tight this instrument can give you a sweeter sound and a touch with less blocking.

this was recorded in 2019 not 2009, why does it look like this mf

Niesamowity dźwięk harmonijny miękki swobodny .sam wygląd instrumentu fantastyczny .

Wow jaki montaż i Chopin 👏

Fajnie 👍

Now I want to build a pipe organ! This is awesome!!! Thanks for posting.

Beautiful

Really impressive! The celesta sounds brilliant in every register. And the rubber ball hammer heads bring out the lower notes. I made a small Mustel-style celesta last year, but it doesn’t seem to ‘sing’ like this. May I ask what kind of steel you used for the bars? Kind regards, Daniel

Unique sound , indeed

Zjawiskowe :)❤

Cudne❤

😍 Pięknie

Could you even play it much faster on a (historic clavichord without it jamming? I don't know if they have overcome those limitations of polyphony (speed) on modern clavichords. It's not often you hear that sound in this age. Thanks.

Delightful performance and visuals!!! I marvel at the design and craftsmanship of the various instruments you have built. ❤

This just sounds so heavenly

Very nice playing and wonderful sounding instrument.

Thanks awesome❤❤❤

Wonderful choice for this. This is what I wanted to hear on an instrument like this! Sounds amazing when that extra melody comes in the high register towards the end. Excellent playing too!
