- In this video I do as genuine unboxing of an extraordinary piece of keyboard history without knowing what it really is. Will this be my rock bottom or have I become the custodian of something my children will pass down to their children? Are you as foolhardy as I with your purchases, a category one consumer or are you a spec hound category two?
Join me back here on the 12th of October 17.00 GMT for the launch of pianobook v3.0 check back after then for a link to the *FREE* "Pitched Electric Celeste"
Remember if you want to be part of the fun and games at the end of this month SUBSCRIBE!!!

The sheer joy on your face, “it’s a fucking celeste!”, brought tears to my eyes. I hope you have many happy years with your new investment.
Ha ha ha!
Same here, it was such a happy reveal.... much needed after a couple of heavy days this week
im sad cuz ive been hunting for a non-galactic priced regular celeste for ages and this video will now put it even further out of reach ahahah. anyone else surprised to see no sustain? i always thought this was a fundamental part of the celeste..?
It was genuinely the look all parents hope to see on their kids faces on Christmas lol. Awesome!
@@TheCrowHillCo or new partner...
"It's a fucking celeste" and the sheer joy on your face is probably the most emotional moment I've seen in one of your videos. And I've seen them all.
I was legitimately nervous for you before you pressed the keys. Sounds incredible and can’t wait for the sample!
“Sounds incredible”, I was thinking it sounds shitty. Sounds like a cheap Kids xylophone from China, which is not a good place to build sounds from. But I imagine if someone is spending around £20k on a piece of rare vintage crap then people are going to romanticise. But let’s be honest, ears are still a thing - that is a very rare vintage piece of shite.
@@watercolourmark On its own, I agree - it's not the greatest sounding thing in the world. But with all those effects I think it sounds pretty neat.
@@PonzWasTaken - I agree. But we could day the same about any sine sound.
@@watercolourmark Just realized you're just trolling after listening to the music on your page.
@@shouldabeengone - what is your point?
sounds beautiful Christian - "it's a fucking celeste!" put a big smile on my face - really happy for you that you got what you actually wanted!!!
yeah i really laughed at that, glad it was eh.
Beautiful instrument! Hard to understand why Fender only made ten of them, after taking the time and effort to develop it ... and it having such a wondrous tone.
The moment you heard it, your irrepressible expression... priceless.
That was when I thought: Pianobook, Pianobook, Pianobook!
A million and one thanks in advance. I'll be there on the 12th.
The moment you lifted the lid, Christian! And then the moment you realized it's a gem! Absolutely amazing! And thank you, as always for sharing this with all of us. Can't wait to play with it! Have fun :D
What a beautiful sound! That nervousness before playing it, followed by your jubilation and glee is wonderful. Thanks for sharing Christian!
It was wonderful to see that kind of joy :D
To be really honest, I have never been a fan of the Rhodes but i must say this Celeste sounds absolutely gorgeous!
My spending habits on gear is simple, when i've got dosh, I buy gear. Thats why i've never got dosh! lol
Not a fan of the Rhodes? Well I disagree however I respect your opinion as a member of the deaf community.
Truly an extraordinary instrument. It was a total blast watching you discover its true nature. Many of us have that "bad room" where our unfortunate equipment decisions go to die. I certainly do. However I also have a well equiped toy room and can report that for you, me and many of our friends a bad room is actually required for to have a super happy fun room.
Really chuffed for you.
The boyish delight when you played it, was so lovely. You deserve it.
Such an inspiring sound.
I had to stop the video and crack up after your motorcycle imitation!! That was priceless!! Loved it!!! Along with the entire video!!
the motorcycle thing at 4:21 had me in tears LOL
Okay... when it comes to sample libraries, I am MOST DEFINITELY a Type 1 consumer... especially with Spitfire and another unnamed company! Even though I've not had much time to dig into the libraries I've purchased, I still get more!!
Seeing the look on your face when you realized that you hadn't been scammed was priceless!!!
That distortion is fantastic, can't wait to hear it amped. Don't get me started on the orange and black ! F**kin gorgeous.
Christian... are you absolutely bonkers? £16K really? And then I heard it, oh! Then at 8:11.... oh!... now I understand... I love being type 1. Grand purchase my dear fellow.
5:21 - best reaction EVER! Not sure, but I got sooo excited when it turned out to be a Celeste. Absolute CZcams gold, Christian! 👍👍👍👍
Wow that octave down sound at 8:12 IS awesome, and YES, I want the sampleset of that sound!
5:20 as music lovers, we all understand the big smile he gets here. I love it (:
Sounds like the instrument that opens Dancing in the Moonlight. You just about play the lick at one point.
lol love the video and LOVE Christian's face when he imitated a Motorcycle SFX LOL!!!!!!!!
Very cool to see one of these played! I used to work for the number one Rhodes tech in Hollywood during Covid. I got to see tons of Rhodes and Wurlitzers and Hammonds restored to mint and I will never forget the amazing time I had there. I had read and heard about this but never got to actually see or hear one!
Man, as soon as you hit those keys for the first time I yelled along with you, “It’s a CELESTE”! Great sound and that red shell is dynamite
Priceless Reaction!! Love those Moments! 😊💚
"Trumpet-fiddle"....I need to know more!!
“It’s a fucking Celeste!!” That proper creased me up! The involuntary glee explosion 😂😂😂 sounds amazing
05:21 Me when my sister says that the Harry Potter theme was played on a piano
When you dropped it a couple of octaves!! Amazing!! Just discovered this channel and I love it. Personally, I'm a type 1 consumer! It is a good job I don't have much in the way of disposable income, otherwise every time a new edition of Sound On Sound comes out I'd be buying every trinket that catches my eye!
8:03 oufff this is gold 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What a beautiful instrument! I'd have to describe myself as a type two since the world shut down, although I did pick up Symphonic Organ recently. I've had my eye on it since seeing "The House With the Clocks in the Wall" with my kids. ...cheers
Thank you for your help in identifying my disease. I have come to recognize it over the years. Even when anticipated that warm endorphin rush from buying new gear is irresistible. It hits the low point for me when I re-buy something I have already owned and sold before. That has happened a bunch of times.
REALLY looking forward to seeing this on Pianobook! Sounds lovely, (love the sound with distortion!!!) Thanks for sharing this moment!
That sounds absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations to you for getting this rare and beautiful instrument!
That thing sounds other-worldly. Stoked for u man.
Hello, my name is Jon and I'm a Reverbaholic.
(Hi Jon)
Okay, I have been following you for about a year now because you have some great videos that I have learned from.
But this!
This has got to be your best video ever!
The look on your face when you press those keys and learn it's actually a celeste is priceless.
So we need to form a Reverb type 1 buyer recovery group.
Hello, my name is John and I'm a Reverbaholic.
I'm a massive Fender Rhodes fan... I can't believe you snagged one of these! Super cool find!
Now if anyone needs a theme song for a new early 1980s sitcom, you're all set.
Christian, that was absolutely genius. Pitching it down that is. I’m imagining it produces a lot of harmonics post 20k. Your reaction was priceless too. Best video you’ve done in a while. I’m so excited to get the samples from piano book!
Your sheer joy was a joy Christian. Please oh please 🙏 make a Pianobook instrument for us all to share in your Joy! What more fitting an addition to the new site!!! Cheers 🍻
7:27 owwwoooffffffuufffff DISTORTION IS THE KING 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Idea for your "Basement of Shame", make a Charity auction with all the stuff!
I just hope you don't thank your accountant with a good bottle...he's already drinking because of you
Look at that big ship in the water - I did say ship!
This celesta makes a gorgious sound! Also that distortion. Lovely
Iv said it before, ill say it again. Top Gear for musicians. Amazing content, thank you... ps, that colour is amazing.
Did you know I did the Top Gear theme? They’ve used it for nearly 20 years!
@@TheCrowHillCo Wait, really? You did a fantastic job making that piece into your own thing.
Ah, so that's what they used on "Dancing in the Moonlight" by King Harvest. And sounds great!
Absolutely beautiful! The look of excitement on your face was fantastic:) enjoy!
I’m so relieved to know that I’m not the only one who buys shit that I don’t need and never use.
I laughed so much at this.
Thank you Christian
i got stung by a Dutch Oven deal too. it still taunts me on a shelf in the kitchen
Granted that 90% of us do some impulse purchasing, buying RME interfaces that you *never* use puts you in a different category, Christian! 8-) Congrats on that celeste. It sounds lovely, and I'm looking forward to hearing some of it in Pianobook or other future sample libraries. -Tom
Congrats on 100K!!! And that thing is beautiful... LOVE the colour... and the sound!
This is the first of your videos that I have watched. Well done, Mate!
Category 1 definitely!
Amazing thanks for sharing 👏🏾👍🏾🙏🏾
So glad it turned out to be what you had hoped! Restores one's faith in... etc.
It's beautiful. I hope it's worth breaking the bank on the current project. Thanks for sharing. You're going to put it on piano book! There's a place for you in heaven.
Manhattans and ebay were a deadly combo in the mid aughts. That said I do love my '64 AC30.
Your excitement made me smile with you when you started playing. Wow, what a beautiful sound. I've just spent over an hour reading about this.
I could listen to that sound you introduced at the 8 min. mark for hours!
You took a risk and it paid off. Now Pianobook 😗😙 .... woohoo. A gift to the world .... Good job fella
That thing looks absolutely astonishing!
...but let's be honest ...you could make a cheap children synth sound great too
Great video upload and full watching! Thanks for sharing,have great day.
That rug really ties the room together!
Dude, that sounds amazing! I want all the samples of this thing, since I'll never be able to play a real one
Love it with distortion. Sort of Mike Ratledge meets the Chipmunks.
5:21 one of the best moments EVER on CZcams!
I’m subscribing because I can relate too well with the first half of this video. I’m glad it worked out well for you. I’m a type 2 consumer now. :/
All these Rhodes instruments have Metal Reeds struck by hammers so they work the same way
Ha, when you hit that first chord, my immediate thought was, "You NEED to sample that!!!". Beautiful sounding and very Rhodes-like.
Oh,and I'm a serious type 2 buyer. I research the bloody heck out of every purchase and am always available for hire.😁
Some instruments (guitars mostly) have "spoken" to me and told me "I have a song hidden inside for you!" Other times just the sheer beauty of a guitar can cause me to open my pockets and invite it into my collection,... which by most standards isn't all that much,... just reached 50 guitars and 10 assorted amps (amps tend to be a smaller collection),... but, I in fact do play them all, and most have been recorded as well.
Wow...beautiful sound...glad it worked out. I have found out recently that buying music equipment can be very addictive....I try to do as much research as possible on pieces before buying, so havent had any buyers remorse on any big ticket items......so far...LOL
Most suspense I e had watching a keyboard video is ages, congratulations 🍾 🙌
New to the channel. Thought this was amazing! So glad it was what you hoped for. This video comes out on the day I'm unboxing a Lumatone. Awesome!
5:04, "It's only got two knobs ..."
Me: there's room for one more.
Lol, bad joke. Love the video.
How I know you’re a brilliant producer; the audio on this video makes my iPhone 12 Pro Max sound like one of those bedside Bose stereos with the tunnel system speakers.
Why am I still coming back and watching this stuff? (a) I'm NOT a musician, (b) I hate you because you obviously have too much money, (c) you have a shed, (d) you are talented (so I'm bitter)....BUT you're a bloke doing what blokes do best - getting consumed by their hobby and being a nerdy, giggly school boy about it - so I can't help giggling along and getting excited too. INCIDENTLY, that sound you found - it puts me in mind of a theme from a TV show we used to watch when I was at school (1970s) called 'PICTURE BOX' ( I believe the tune was 'MANÈGE' BY JACQUES LASRY) and it had that same slightly surreal and vaguely spooky underwater organ sound to it.
And the haunted house music .... very very nice, very very lucky
What a great video-I really felt your excitement there. Also it sounds so great!
Love the big kid christmas morning moment.
loving these VLOGs. I got so excited when you pressed that first few keys.
That 2 octave down sound is pure “No Quarter”
Holy shit man! The joy on your face when you realised that it was what it was! Glorious!
I buy things in the hope that it'll inspire me to make something new. Sometimes a shitty thing can be good and sometimes bad. Finding musical "gear" is an art of it's own. It's part of discovering yourself somehow. You get to know yourself thru the things you create with. If this makes any sense..
Stoked that it worked out for you! I certainly know those terrible moments where you think you’ve made a major purchase mistake. Fortunately, it usually works out somehow, even if it wasn’t exactly what you wanted (or needed). To answer your question, I purchase when I know my upcoming gig will cover at least 50% of the cost. I often bite my nails regretting larger purchases, but it goes away once I unbox it and play around for a few hours. In the end, I’ll just say, “It brings me happiness, and happiness is worth it”. 👍🏻
Never heard of this! Mr Rogers DOES come to mind . . .
Hi, no longer capable of playing guitar or piano (arthritis winning).... stumbled into your excited Fender Rhodes Celeste reveal ...wonderful sound...would suggest perhaps a quick performance of the haunting clarinet opening from the OST of the supernatural thriller film The Fury (circa late 70's early 80's) as a Halloween celebration point of interest featuring the Celeste with your remarkable versatility in production....would be a hoot!
Beautiful sound, great purchase !👌
That is a beautiful sound.... Congrats!
That sine into distortion... Makes me want to try my Casiotone 1000P and do the same thing...
To answer your question - my main remorse is a small, but cool synth that lacked connectivity so I can't use it easily in any songs. It probably set me back only $150 though, so I'm OK. It's just fun for noodling nothing more...
I have a Kickstarter that hasn't delivered now after 4 years, that is a disappointment, but I think the guy is still actively working on it.
I'm a bit analytical, but I do get convinced to buy certain pieces of gear after hearing a good demo (or two) in context and just a small amount of research. Thanks to that I added two other pieces of 1979 gear to my Moog Liberation....
Casio mt-70 for a poorer man such as I.
Is that a Deckard's Dream I spotted? A video on that would be great. Not that this one wasn't good, lovely sound!
Those first two notes you played blew me away.
THAT THING SOUNDS LUSCIOUS!!
Loved it - thanks!
I want an electric celeste now. I think this would be a wonderful to have in a kids bedroom for playing to them when they are little, and then letting them begin to explore music with it as they get less little. What a pretty sound.
Well if this channel has one of the ten or so that exist, good luck paying a fortune. This isn't something that belongs around children, as much as I believe children should be encouraged to discover and learn. They're just going to spill their juice on it and ruin a nearly priceless piece of music.
i really like the vibe of this video and i don’t know why
Can’t wait for the piano book and the Celest! I’m a type one, so so bad, but sometimes! Yes sometimes it’s magic !
So glad I clicked on this. There is one sound that can make me melt into my seat: the Fender Rhodes. Consider me a puddle.
Sounds lovely. Looking forward to playing one tomorrow with the original speaker cabinet!!!
looking really forward for the sample pack! many thanks for the video and of course also the work you put in for the sample pack!
Sounds amazing through my studio speakers! Can't wait for the sampled version!
Common man: "OMG I won the lottery!"
Christian: "it's a fuck*ng celeste!"
Just subbed, almost at 100k mate - we need that sample !
I buy a new virtual instrument late night when my wife has been acting very unfairly towards me..
