“Compact” model

The perfect Celesta for smaller halls

Like all Schiedmayer celestas, the “Compact” model is characterized by its richness of sound and versatility. Smooth glissandi, long scales, dreamy melodies or isolated soft notes complement each other for a purely pleasurable musical experience. Here, unlike the 5 ½ Octave Model “Studio”, attention is paid to the compact arrangement of the sound plates over each other (superposed) to form a slimmer celesta instrument which requires less space, without losing the clarity of the celesta’s vibrant and bell-like sound quality.

Due to its slender design, the celesta is ideal for use in classical, contemporary and pop music as well as in recording studios, broadcasting studios and especially in small orchestra pits. It meets high musical standards and is the perfect combination of slim design and impressive sound quality. It is sometimes possible to purchase a refurbished or demonstration model – for more information about the instrument and celesta sale please contact us using the contact form.

“Thank you for all your help. All the keyboard players I spoke with in UK orchestras said that Schiedmayer celestes were absolutely the highest industry standard unmatched by anyone else.”
