• Like the Ugears Hurdy-Gurdy, the Mechanical Celesta is both a wooden mechanical model and a functional musical instrument
• This special musical model is a simpler version of a pianola, and includes elements of a piano, a music box, and a xylophone
• There are two modes of playing the instrument: you can use the keys to strike the metal plates, producing musical notes over an octave range, from C to C, or you can “pre-program” the instrument by composing a melody on the player piano drum, then play it by turning the knob
• In “manual mode” when you press a key, the hammer strikes the plate and the sound of the corresponding note is heard
• In “programmed melody mode” you arrange a series of boards along a rotating drum, then turn the drum as pins on each board trigger the hammers to strike the right notes
