    Question Celesta

    Does anyone know where and/or if it is possible to purchase an acoustic celesta online, and the price range? Thanks in advance.

    I tried Bling search engine and came up with a number of sites related to the celesta.

    http://www.bisset.com/lessons/instruments.html
    http://www.applied-acoustics.com
    http://www.markgoodwinpianos.co.uk/p...lesta-for-sale

    hope that helps. Good luck with your search.

    Monte - you had better have a large bank balance as they are made in very small quantities generally.

    Thanks for the info, everyone.
    @ David - I guessed that they'd cost quite a bit, I'll probably just try and buy one of the electronic Yamaha ones.
