Abstract
A celesta produces sounds in response to keying-in by striking sound bars with hammer units associated therewith, and key action mechanisms are provided between the keys and the hammer units, wherein the hammer units are located under the associated sound bars so that the hammers promptly return to initial positions by the aid of the gravity exerted thereon.
