Racine ie sagan ma 6 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Fridey, March 11, 1966 DISTRICT NEWS Ancient Mustel Celesta Demonstrated At Kedron Se Re Re re KEDRON (TC) area children were afforded a rare opportunity recently, when Sebastian Hohmann explained and demonstrated the function- ing of an ancient Mustel Celesta. . Built in France about 1850, instrument was purchased the U.S.A. by a renowned Canadian musician. Mr. Hoh- 'mann was commissioned to do restoration work for its owner. As far as is known, there is not another instrument like it on this continent, and there is reason to believe that this one was the pilot model for later inventions of Victor Mustel. There were indications that it was originally intended as an accessory to a large pipe- organ. It re-produces the sounds of chimes used in these larger organs. LEATHER NUTS The "dating" of the instru- ment was accomplished by at- tention to certain aspects of its construction. Bronze springs had been used on the hammer returns, which places construc- tion prior to the availability of steel wire fine enough for this purpose. Had steel wire been available, it would have been used, as bronze deteriorates much more quickly, resulting in a loss of resilience. Leather nuts, conventional in the mid- nineteenth century, had been used throughout, and the ad- justing screws were of the brass type used by watchmakers. Further indications that this particular celesta may have been the pilot model were dis- covered when it was noted that the resonator. boxes appeared to have been made some time prior to their application to the clavier (key and hammer) operated mechanism. No in- dication of mechanical saw cuts were found on the wood used in this tone-producing mechanism, although they were visible on certain of the action parts. European oak had been used for all hardwood parts, with the pxception of the treble stack, which was of European pine. NO TONE VARIANCE | The tones were produced by hammers, activated by keys, striking metal plates on the resonator boxes. This method, unlike the tuning forks used in -- Kedron later models, prevented any variance in tuning from tnat originally set by thé inventor. Because of this, the tuning of the instrument was of special interest and value, since it had not changed over the years. Mr. Hohmann found there was a considerable difference in this original tuning with the variations of pitch arrived at by mechanical methods today. The restoration work was primarily involved with the me- chanical aspects of the celesta. In layman terms, this means that the craftsman was given licence to replace parts and make substitutions which would enable the owner to use the in- strument, Had the restoration been for purely aesthetic pur- poses, such as museum display, none of the original parts would have been touched. FELTS DRIED OUT When Mr. Hohmann began his work, the condition of the ce- lesta was such that it could not be played with any accuracy. The resonator boxes had shrunk and split, so that true tones could not be obtained. Felt parts had dried and hardened, the bronze springs had lost their resilience, and the bone glue had let go in many places. Victor Mustel, the inventor, is listed in the Groves Diction- ary of Music as having been born in LeHavre, France, June 16, 1815. He died in Paris, Jan. |26, 1890. A French manufacturer of Harmoniums (reed organs), Mustel Organ. Apprenticed to a shipbuilder at the age of 12, he set himself up in this trade in 1838. En- dowed from youth with a genius for construction, his first vent- ure into the field of musical instruments came when he at- tempted to improve upon an accordion which he had purch- ased in LeHayre. Elated with his success, he sold his work- shop, and moved his family to Paris. He found work in sev- eral workshops, but was unable to earn anything but meagre wages. WON MEDAL In 1835, therefore, he decided to go into business for himself again. Two years later he won Councillor Cites Arena, Community Centre AJAX -- The following article, dealing with the need for an arena and community centre in Ajax, was written by Councillor Clark Mason of Ajax. "Ajax is a growing vibrant town; a town pith more than its share of young people and| children. Any town of this na- ture is in need of proper rec- reation facilities. Fortunate are the many who have such fa- cilities. "The existing 'recreation tentre" building is rapidly be- eoming a decrepit firetrap.| Much taxpayers' money is spent} each year on repairs; in fact, | the costs of the old are rapidly! approaching what would be the debenture costs of the new. Por- tions have been torn off, re-| placed, patched and now the) patches are being patched. The focally caller "'barn", '"'eyesore"' etc. is becoming a building that this town can no longer afford, especially if we are in- terested in providing a safe, economical and adequate faci- lity for the use of over 1000 adults and children who use it waakly weekly. "Every Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday, over 500 adults and children are on the move to somewhere else to enjoy ice skating or hockey. The Friday night crowds at Whitby public skating consist of a great percentage of Aja- cians. Parents must accompany their children "'out of town', or allow them to go unsupervised, or worse still, deprive them of going. Public skating and fig- ure skating classes are about the only ice activity that our Need in town have expressed support for such a project. In their for- ward thinking they realize the benefits that this project can accrue. Attracting new industry, keeping expensively trained per- sonnel, being a symbol of a) stable town, are only a few. "Does Ajax need an Arena-| Community centre? The major- ity of council, the residents and the major industrial taxpayers all seem to say "YES" we need this facility. his several inventions resulted in the instrument known as the % a First Class medal for his invention of a narnionion™ wit "double expression", and a new step which he called "harp aeoline'. For. the first year after winning the medal, the business prospered. His two sons had joined him in the business by this time. Later they 'suffered reverses which, had Mustel not been able to sell some land left him by his father, might have destroy- ed the business entirely. Even in 1866, his receipts did little more than cover his costs. Since that date, the firm of "Victor Mustel et ses fils" gain- ed in reputation, and became noteworthy in Engiand as well as France. The present name of the firm, as listed in the Groves dictionary, is "Mustel Cie', which would seem to indicate that it is in operation today. A later invention of Mustel's, the Typhophone, was a_ per- cussion instrument with key- board, employing tuning forks in resonance boxes of the prop- er accoustic capacity. The prin- ciple is very similar: to that used in the celesta, which leads Mr. Hohmann to his belief that the one he worked on was the original pilot model.
