Celesta regulation

[Dorothy Bell]

Steve Carver's article is on the July 2003 issue, pages 20-25. There is a "service manual" available, as Steve says at the end of the article, but it doesn't contain a lot more info than the article itself. The dealer is very happy to hear from anyone wanting more information, and the dealer rep was there in Nashville at the class.

I took the class in Nashville. The instrument itself is just beautiful to the eye. Voicing is a bit different in approach: the notes come from different places in the body of the instrument, i.e., not like a xylophone or glockenspiel where the tone enhancers (boxes, pipes, whatever) are all lined up in increasing order of size. Because the tones come from unexpected places, you really can't voice it by just listening from the keyboard as with a piano. The best place to listen is from the back, about 3 feet away at least.
