---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Wlm, I don't think there is any electronic alternative that you can really call a "celeste". Are we going to substitute "electronic" harpsichords, too. University students deserve a chance to experience the "true orchestral experience", and playing a broken-down, ugly celeste is pretty standard...... I agree with Ted. We have a Schiedmayer at Northwestern, and it is pretty durable.
