Subject: Time: 6:30 PM OFFICE MEMO RE Celesta Repair Date: 1/16/96 ------------original post--------------- >Celeste is a hybrid instrument. For repairs to the casework, probably any good wood worker. For repairs to the keyboard and hammer mechanism, probably an adventurous piano technician. For reuning of the bars, a percussion specialist. >> Avery ----------------reply----------------- I have repaired two different celestas during my tenure as a CAUT, one at PA St Univ and one here at Oberlin. They are built in a "Rube Goldberg" sort of way, the workings of which are easy to figure out if you are at all mechanically curious. Neither job took very long, and both efforts got me some brownie points with the administration because they did not have to send the things out. They saved BUCKS, and administrators sure do like that. Ken Sloane, Oberlin Conservatory
