Mechanical Celesta
Assemble me. Let the celestial music play!
Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti Do. 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 mechanical model and a fully 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. Thanks to the Mechanical Celesta's ease of use, even the smallest child or those without any prior musical knowledge can begin to play music, by striking the keys or turning the crank to produce pre-programmed melodies. 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 correct notes.
You will find that the instructions include programming pins set to the melody of Carol of the Bells. Originally titled Shchedryk, this iconic melody was composed by Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych. First performed more than 100 years ago, Shchedryk gained worldwide recognition after its debut at Carnegie Hall and became known as Carol of the Bells. This timeless masterpiece sounds wonderful on your Mechanical Celesta by Ugears, celebrating its enduring musical legacy.
