Celestas are notoriously bad even at the best of times. Even the one owned by the Chicago Symphony is a POS-an expensive pos but never the less a pos. The action has to be heavy to work in my experience though I am not normally running the thing in concert. This is truly a good use for an electronic keyboard IMHO. If you learn any tricks please post them though.

I played The Planets last night (tuba), and the keyboardist complained of a too-hard touch on the celeste, causing an inconsistent speaking. Looking through the grill-work, and seeing piano-like action, it occurred to me it could use some piano-like regulating. Didn't have the time to experiment, but I remain curious. . .
