Ugears Mechanical Celesta

Ugears is proud to introduce the second DIY musical instrument in our collection: the Mechanical Celesta. Like the Ugears Hurdy-Gurdy, the Mechanical Celesta is both a wooden model and a functional musical instrument.
 
This special model is a simpler version of a player piano and contains elements of a piano, a music box and a xylophone.
 
There are two ways to play the instrument: you strike the keys on the metal plates producing musical notes over an octave range, from C to C, or you can preprogram the instrument by composing a melody on the player and then playing it. let everyone hear by turning the handle!

Thanks to the ease of use of the Mechanical Celesta, even the smallest child without any musical prior knowledge can start playing music by pressing the keys or turning the crank to produce pre-programmed melodies.
 
When you press a key in manual mode, the hammer strikes the record and the sound of the corresponding note is heard. In programmed tune mode you arrange a series of plates along a rotating drum and spin the drum as pins on each board activate the hammers to strike the correct notes.

Program familiar melodies into the players piano drum, or create original compositions for others to play by simply turning the crank. Your audience will be impressed by your creativity and ingenuity as you play original music on an instrument you built yourself!
