Value of Celestina Organette
By Jim Canavan

In Digest 980404 Don Keil asked about the value of a Celestina he was
considering purchasing, at $650.  Don, if it's in good shape (both
cabinet, stenciling, etc.) _and_ it sounds good and strong, $650 is a
deal!

Most Celestinas I've seen, both at yesterday's Phonograph/Music Show in
Claymont, Delaware and elsewhere are normally twice that price!  I
think that the Celestina is one of the best organettes to own; its
20-note scale and fast note response makes for some enjoyable music!

If you're interested, my web site -- http://members.aol.com/cybrflash
(look under "tunes") -- has a RealAudio clip recorded from my "Improved
Celestina" (a slightly later model with improved rewind).
