Celesta rental for concerts, orchestral tours & studio recordings

We pay close attention to the originality and tonal authenticity of our celestas. Therefore, we deliberately chose to rent historical instruments. This is because the components used long ago for the construction of these instruments, such as the old silver steel and parts of the old mechanisms, are somewhat different from those of modern instruments. Therefore, our rental celesta probably comes closer to the sound ideas of the composers of that time. Many well-known orchestras and famous conductors regularly request and happily use them.

Very important: The sound of a celesta is irreplaceable by any other instrument.

The “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” from Peter Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker”, the opera “Der Rosenkavalier” (The Knight of the Rose) by Richard Strauss, or “Hedwig’s Theme” from the “Harry Potter” sound track by John Williams is unthinkable without a celeste / celesta.

Each of our celesta is lovingly restored and precisely tuned. They are regularly maintained to a high standard, suitable for professional use by the Berlin-based workshop for historical keyboard instruments.
