Keyboard glockenspiel / Clavitimbre MUSTEL for sale – absolute rarity

For sale is a true treasure and an absolute rarity: a historic keyboard glockenspiel by MUSTEL from Paris, also known as clavitimbre. MUSTEL was the inventor of this very first keyboard glockenspiel in piano shape. Around 1950 they handcrafted only 150 of these instruments. Today, only a very few remain, primarily in museums and with private collectors. Hardly any of them are still playable. More information about the clavitimbre can be found on Wikipedia.

The MUSTEL keyboard glockenspiel offered here is uniquely preserved and fully functional. It has been cleaned, set up ready to play, and retuned to A4 = 443 Hz, the current orchestral tuning in Europe. The sound is fantastic, clear, and balanced. It shows only very minor signs of wear. More photos can be provided. Sorry, already sold!

We have such a MUSTEL clavitimbre in our rental stock. It is unbeatable, especially for expressionist music, and highly sought after by orchestras. We can highly recommend this extremely rare keyboard glockenspiel.
