His instrument, the \u201cAiuton\u201d, produced a very \u201csweet\u201d and soft tone. This experiment consisted of a hollow, wooden sound box in which a row of tuning forks were struck by small hammers triggered by keys.<\/p>\n<p>In 1866 Victor Mustel, who later invented the celesta, constructed the typophone; a tuning fork piano which sounded similar to the later form of the celesta but lacked volume to be convincing enough as an instrument in its own right. It produced sound in a similar manner to the \u201cdulcitone\u201d which was invented at about the same time in Scotland.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jjzuca76-dd3526b93a5d2b4c005d2c4347c143a6\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-jjzuca76-dd3526b93a5d2b4c005d2c4347c143a6{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-jjzuca76-dd3526b93a5d2b4c005d2c4347c143a6 hr-invisible'><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<div class='flex_column_table av-3qbdr-5534aece9241e7ecebe5a32bd69bcd97 sc-av_one_half av-equal-height-column-flextable'>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3qbdr-5534aece9241e7ecebe5a32bd69bcd97\">\n.flex_column.av-3qbdr-5534aece9241e7ecebe5a32bd69bcd97{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-3qbdr-5534aece9241e7ecebe5a32bd69bcd97 av_one_half first flex_column_table_cell av-equal-height-column av-align-middle av-zero-column-padding  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-jjzsxoil-28feb186a4115bd3503d450088d83953\">\n.avia-image-container.av-jjzsxoil-28feb186a4115bd3503d450088d83953 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-jjzsxoil-28feb186a4115bd3503d450088d83953 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-jjzsxoil-28feb186a4115bd3503d450088d83953 av-styling- avia-align-center'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-5074 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-5074 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.celesta-schiedmayer.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/02-celesta-resonatoren-760x1030.jpg\" alt='Die originale Celesta von V.

This produces a much more metallic and less mellow sound. The <strong>felt hammers<\/strong> of the celesta produce a much warmer sound. The ranges of the instruments are also very different: a celesta instrument with up to 5 \u00bd octaves has much more depth, range and volume, enabled by its resonators and softer action, than a keyboard glockenspiel with 3 1\/2 octaves.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div><\/div><!--close column table wrapper.

It has a dual nature in that it belongs to the percussion section, considering the mechanics of sound production, and to the keyboard instruments, considering the way of playing the instrument. It is therefore usually played by a pianist. Ernest Chausson used the celesta for the first time in a chamber music setting in 1888 in his stage music \u201eLa Temp\u00eate\u201c.<\/p>\n<p>In 1891 P.I. Tchaikovsky had already written for the instrument in his symphonic ballad \u201cThe Voyevoda\u201d before he brought it to fame a year later in his ballet music to the \u201cNutcracker\u201d. After that, many great composers recognized the possibilities of the instrument and it soon became a permanent member of concert scenes across the globe.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1dhaj-372abf32f036f69a91452b6f04cd9ee9\">\n.flex_column.av-1dhaj-372abf32f036f69a91452b6f04cd9ee9{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-1dhaj-372abf32f036f69a91452b6f04cd9ee9 av_one_half flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-wdmn-8098c436ee9a306d7f30ba72bd31c11e '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Maurice Ravel used it in his ever-popular \u201cBolero\u201d, Claude Debussy in his quintet \u201eChansons de Bilitis\u201c and Gustav Mahler in his 6th symphony &#8220;The Song of the Earth&#8221; and in the \u201cSongs on the Death of Children\u201d.
