Absolutely charming! I love the framing device of opening and closing the instrument. Open the box, make some magic come out, close the box. A proper little narrative, and an exquisite little tune.
Really nice playing. Captures the spirit of the instrument. Someone gave me a smaller, 2 octave version of one of these, in the mid 60s. The box was brass colored, and had a curved chrome grill, backed by a gold thread fabric. It had small rubber feet, and a chrome carrying handle on the front, below the keyboard. It didn't open up like this, nor did it have resonating tubes. It was in perfect condition. I believe it was meant to be played in bands and small orchestras. It was probably made in the mid 50s. I gave to a musician friend, in the 70s, because I never played it. I did have piano lessons as a kid, and I played the Glockenspiel in marching band in high school. I saw myself as a percussionist, not a keyboard player. I wish I still had it. Of course.
+ROBERT MCGRATH Thank you!! I knew it was familiar and a lullaby but couldn't place it for the life of me! I was thinking Disney...something from my childhood. Thank you!!!
+Malderine your welcome this was a tune that stuck with me through childhood and I love it and he does a fabulous job playing it. I've been looking for a jenco Celeste but the only one I found is way to expensive

¡Pero qué delicia de música servida en este angelical instrumento! Se agradece el rito de abrir y cerrarlo.
What a lovely instrument! Thanks for the demonstration.
