What is another word for celesta?
Pronunciation: [səlˈɛstə] (IPA) 
The Celesta is a unique musical instrument that produces soft, bell-like tones. It is an idiophone, which means that the sound is produced by the vibration of the instrument itself, rather than by strings or air. The name is derived from the French word "celeste," meaning heavenly or celestial, due to its ethereal, otherworldly sound. Other synonyms for the celesta include the harmonium, which has a similar bell-like tone, but is air-powered, and the glockenspiel, which is a percussion instrument with smaller, higher-pitched bells. The celesta is used in a range of musical genres, from classical to contemporary, and has featured in famous compositions like Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" from The Nutcracker.
