A '''celesta''' or '''celeste''' ([[France|French]]: ''heavenly'') is a percussion instrument with a piano-like keyboard, connected to hammers which strike a graduated set of steel plates suspended over wooden resonators. When struck, the plates give a very pure, bell-like sound very similar to that of the [[glockenspiel]], but with a softer tone quality. A foot pedal is used to sustain or dampen the sound.
