Product Overview

Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do. As Julie Andrews said in the Sound of Music, once you have these notes in your heads you can sing a million different tunes by mixing them up. 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 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. There are two modes of playing the instrument: you can use the keys to strike the metal plates, producing musical notes over an octave range, from C to C, or you can pre-program the instrument by composing a melody on the player piano drum, then play it by turning the knob. 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 right notes. This fun DIY musical model / 3D puzzle consists of 573 pieces and promises 8 hours of enjoyable assembly time. The Mechanical Celesta is rated intermediate difficulty. In addition to laser pre-cut high-quality plywood boards, the model kit also includes cotton ropes, wooden balls, and metal plates. To assemble, follow the detailed, illustrated instructions available in 11 languages (Ukrainian, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean). You don't need glue or special tools to assemble your Mechanical Celesta. Everything you need to build your functional musical instrument comes right in the box.
