Celestina Organette Value and Rebuilding
By Lyle Merithew
A charity I am affiliated with recently received a donation of
a Celestina organette. The case is in decent shape (lots of dings
but the stencils and printed directions are in pretty good shape).
It does not play. The bellows seem to be good and I looked at a
couple of the reeds and they seem okay. I'm assuming the pneumatics
are the problem.
The charity is looking to sell it and I was wondering if anyone had an
idea of what it might be worth (a range is fine).
I was also wondering if there is any rebuilding information other than
what I found under "Celestina" on MMD:
