A Parisian Mustel celeste!
Cool.. we have an old, old French celeste in the shop! Likely a good deal more than 100 years old! Great project and will be very satisfying to refurbish. Can’t help but play the Harry Potter themes on it!!
From Wikipedia:
“The celesta was invented in 1886 by Parisian harmonium builder Auguste Mustel. His father, Victor Mustel, had developed the forerunner of the celesta, the typophone or the dulcitone, in 1860. This consisted of struck tuning forks instead of metal plates, but the sound produced was considered too small to be of use in an orchestral situation.”
