A Celesta is something like an up-right piano, but it produces sounds that vibrates because a little hammer hits against the steel or metal to produce the sound.
This is used in The Nutcracker (the "xylophone"), and the timbre is quite silvery and hallow
The celesta is made out of wood (commonly oak, plywood) inside there are small hammers that strike strings made from human hair. The hammers are wood with metal tips shaped like skulls. there is a small man that sits inside and holds the hammers. he is commonly known as the celestials or leprechaun (your preference). When you play it and touch the keys a small screen is shown to the little man showing which keys you are pressing....please feed your celestia as two meals a day and dessert if he's playing good!
The celesta is a musical instrument, probably best known as a solo instrument in Tchaikovsky's Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies from the Nutcracker. See link.
It works by striking metal bars inside a resonating chamber when a key is pressed down.
A musical instrument consisting principally of a set of graduated steel plates struck with hammers that are activated by a keyboard. :)
