Celestina Organette Tracker Bar Scale
By John Wolff

In MMD 010128 Gary Heckman asked about the scale and order of reeds
for a Wilcox & White Celestina. I have two Aeolian Celestinas, both
in A-flat, scaled:

  G#,C#,D#,F#,G#,A#,C,C#,D,D#,E,F,F#,G,G#,A#,C,C#,D#,F

Wilcox & White also made 20-note organettes with multiple banks of
reeds, but whatever the arrangement, the reeds go strictly in ascending
order.
