I’d be interested in hearing comments anyone might have in comparing a
Schiedmayer celesta to the Yamaha celesta. I know the Yamaha has an
action more like a piano action and therefore might be a bit more
“pianist friendly” to play and more “technician friendly” to service. How
does it stack up tonally? <br>

I’m a rather reluctant (but capable) caretaker for a couple of
over-the-hill Schiedmayers and am just
wondering…</font></blockquote><br>
Hmmm...for my money, the hands-down choice would be to ship the
Schiedmayers back to the factory for refurbishing. Since Mustel
went out of business, Schiedmayer is really the only game in town.
Tonally there is no comparison between those and Yamahas.<br><br>
