temperature. The resonators are designed to produce maximum volume at 23°C (73°F).

Since the celesta and the keyboard glockenspiel are constructed of natural materials, excessively high or low humidity may
degrade the tone as well as the feel of the keyboard. The celesta and the keyboard glockenspiel are best kept in an
environment with a relative humidity of 40% to 70%.
Maintenance
Maintenance of the coated surface
Gently wipe dust off the surface of the wooden cabinet with a soft cloth.

Maintenance of the keyboard
Wipe the keyboard off with a soft cloth.
If you cannot wipe off a stain, soak a cloth in soapy water, wring it out thoroughly, and wipe off the stain.
Do not use cleaning detergent, alcohol or benzene, as they may cause the keys to crack.
Dust cover

When you store the celesta or the keyboard glockenspiel, cover it with a cloth dust cover to control humidity and protect
against dust.
